Do we know this guy is for real? He's got a real young sign-up date, and so do some of his early pings on this thread.

Me and my family thank you for protecting us. We are all praying for you and our other brave soldiers (I think the children's prayers are heard especially clearly).
God bless you for being a MAN we could count on.

Impossible to say if he's for real or whether he just wandered off the . . . Hurtgen Forest battlefield.

I can personally vouch for Captain Mike.

He is the real deal.

See also the thread that I just posted before I found THIS thread:

PRAYERS NEEDED:

To follow is a very troubling e-mail that I just received from one of Captain Mike's men:

My dear friends,

I forgot to duck. By the time most of us read this I will be on my way to Germany for treatment. The doctors have decided that I'm too severely injured to continue my job. I don't know when I be back stateside but I will let you know.

This message was dictated to me before the captain lost consciousness. I'm not a doctor so I can't tell you his condition. I can tell you that he did it right and saved the lives of several men in the vicinity. The unit sends its sympathies to his friends and family.

Personally, I found him to be the finest officer that I have ever known and am honored to serve under him. Again, you all have our thanks and our sympathies.

And he's only got one other post, on the day he signed up. However that might not be too far out of line. He may have been lurking then signed up to make that one post, and then went back to lurking. We'll see I guess.
