We realize that this is a small tribute, but we do this with all respect and sincerity and we want you to know that it is made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals from across the American youth hockey community, their...

I never knew Michael J Anaya. My family was stationed on Eglin back in 09´ and I was in my third-grade classroom, 8 years-old at the time and I loved to read the newspaper after recess. I was reading this article about a young man, who´s vehicle ran over an IED. I was sad when I realized he was so just so young. It really rattled my cage, to the point where I NEVER forgot that name. I was too young then to realize sacrifice(s) he was making for his country. Our Country. I´m 23 years old now....

Today is one of those days I wish I could see you again brother. Here I am stationed where you were before you left this earth. I think about you everyday. We miss you very much. I know now that you weren't meant to be here long. The best do their job and then they are called home. You my wonderful brother, will always be the best of us. I'll see you when I get there.

I was thinking of Anaya today. I served with him in Bayji, Iraq attached to his unit back in 2008 - 2009 as an Air Force K-9 Handler. I can remember Michael coming over to the K-9 Compound and putting on the bite suit and going out with him on missions when they needed K-9 support. May God continue to comfort the Anaya family, especially during this time of year. I will always remember and NEVER forget the ultimate sacrifice that Anaya made to this Nation!!

I served with mike in california kilo troop 2-11 ACR. He was in another platoon but i remember he was always upbeat and very funny. I will never forget him.
