I was Michael's recruiter when he entered the Marine Corps in Maryville in 2003. I was impressed with him early on in his time in the Delayed Entry Program. I leaned on him to inspire the other members of the program and he did just that. He was leader, even then, and I know he was an incredible NCO. I admired him for his tenacity and dedication. He would never accept being second in anything and pushed himself to be the best. As recruiters of future Marines, we often grow attached to the...

I can't fathom the depth of your grief or pain. It must be beyond words. He was so young. Please accept my sincerest condolences. Our faithful God now holds Michael in the palm of His hands. May everything that troubles you fall into its proper place. God bless and keep the faith.

My heart goes out to Micheal's family and friends. I will never forget that he gave his life for our country and our freedom. I don't know how I could help with his wife and baby boy, but let me know if I can. I hope everything works out for her to continue to stay in the U.S. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

My condolences to the parents, wife and child of Sgt. Michael H. Ferschke. I read his story online and was very saddened that he never had the chance to meet his infant son. I lost two co-workers in Iraq (they were Army Reservists)in 2008 and earlier this year. I also presently have a 19 yr-old nephew in Afghanistan. This tragedy could happen to anyone...and millions of Americans feel your pain. Your son died a hero. This country would be nothing without the sacrifice of men like him. God...
