Mike was one of the GREAT ones, how great? Mike never spoke of Vietnam, all he told us was that he was a clerk and never saw combat. We found out that he was awarded the bronze star for saving his battalion from an attack. HE WAS A TRUE AMERICAN HERO. I am so proud to be your cousin.You can rest in peace in your mother and grandmothers arms. We all love and miss you.
