Michael Brian Vanderboegh

Remembering my brother this morning as 7 years have come and gone, and our precious mom passed into Heaven this past March. Didn´t always understand Mike, but my admiration for his taking stands for freedom, liberty, and the Constitution has grown. A privilege to call him my brother.

Mike was an inspiration to all Patriots. As the seventh anniversary of his passing approaches, I would like for his family to know that Mike is NOT forgotten. His actions and dedication still serve as an example to all of us. Ne Desit Vertis!

I'm just finding you now mike but let it be known your messages are as strong now as they were then , we will carry your torch from here and may we make you proud .....

I knew him as the, now ex-husband of my cousin, Laura, and an intelligence and entrepreneurial spirited man who loved science fiction and all the possibilities that life has to offer. I also knew him as a man of vision and principle committed to freedom and the laws and bedrock upon which this nation was built. I will miss him more than I can say.

He walked his talk, and poked his finger in the eye of tyrants; a life well lived. I enjoyed our exchanges, though I feel I did not give as good as I got. We are all better for having known him.

He was an inspiration to thousands, and opened my eyes to a great many things. He is sorely missed.

Mike, we miss you. See you when we get there.

Keeping you in our thoughts as the battle continues.

I can only hope, as you sit in the glory of our Lord, what a difference you have made to so many. May your spirit live on through the many you have reached.

Just saw this. My deepest sympathies to all of you in your time of loss.

Your cousin and niece,
Diane (Marks) Paustian

He remains an inspiration...

Peace be with all of you. We will miss you, Mike.

In God's arms you can gently rest.
Peace be with you Mike.

RIP, Mike.

I'm deeply indebted to Mike, and I hope to pay at least some of that debt off with a life well lived -- jc in Petaluma

George Mason once wrote:

"There is a Passion natural to the Mind of man, especially a free Man, which renders him impatient of Restraint."

Mike lived and died a free man; may his memory always be that the flame of liberty he kindled to life never dims against the darkness of tyranny.

Never met you, Mike, but I appreciate your work. You left a good legacy behind so yours was a life well-lived - thank you.

I had the opportunity to meet Mike and hear him speak in Hartford Connecticut a few years ago.....Best damn speech I ever heard! RIP Mike!

We corresponded and you shared your faith and patriotism with me. We were members of a club no one wants to be a member of but you carried it with grace, acceptance and positivity. God speed, old friend. You've earned your eternal reward.
John [CA]

Our deepest sympathies to your family. Your work will be carried on.

Thank you, Mike, for all you have done.

Fair winds and following seas on your voyage to Valhalla, Mike ! I was honored you accepted my support of your cause. I will always remember you as a True Patriot ! Adios !

I read Mike for a lot of years. My Deepest sympathy for the entire family. We have all lost a lot, but you folks the most of all.
Thanks Mike for what you did, the history you taught, and the movement you founded. May you rest in peace after a job well done.

I learned much from mike in the 3 or so yr's i visited the SSI website..
It is now my mission to go thru the archives from beginning to present day and learn much more!

God Bless

Thanks, Mike. Happy trails.

America needs a thousand Mike Vanderboeghs, but we were blessed to have one. May the thousand we need look to his life and accomplishments for inspiration.
May the Lord Bless and keep his wife and family.

I had the opportunity to meet Mike once, and I'm grateful I had the good fortune to shake his hand and talk to him face to face, man to man. He was bigger than his own legend.

You are missed, Mike. We are poorer as a people with your passing.

Those remembered live forever...Godspeed MVB

Blessings and honor. May Valkyries bring joy again to your family as you know peace, because I believe even Valhalla is proud and the guardianship will be known by thunderous wings.

First heard of Mike through David Codrea, and after reading his SSI blog I became a faithful reader, and also enjoyed the videos of his speeches.
The country has lost a strong advocate for the 2nd, and also a leader who was not afraid to say what he meant, and meant what he said.
Thank you Mike V for all you've done , and as a born again Christian I will get to meet you one day.(Right after Jesus.) RIP.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

"THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated."

Thomas Paine's words could have been written today.

That message reverberated in Mike's work.
Because of that work, we do love and honor his memory and his message.

It is up to us to now to tackle the great task before us.
Restoring this great Republic might nigh be impossible.
But we owe it to our children and our grand children to at least try. And try I will. And try we must.

Rest in peace sir.

I pray that God comfort the Vanderboegh family in their time of loss and sorrow, and that many more find inspiration in his message.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom while you were here, Mike, the world needs more men like you. Rest in peace.

Mike was loved and appreciated by many who never met him. His devotion to God and country was ever present when he opened his mouth. Godspeed

I never had the honor of meeting Mike, but as a former ATF agent, I was well aware of his work exposing Fast and Furious. I came to know Mike through his friend David Codrea, his work, and now his son. The more I learn about Mike the more humbled I am by his strength and conviction. RIP Patriot. Sandy Davis

I am so fortunate to have met Mike at several rallies in OR and WA, attending one of his classes even having lunch with him after a few of these events. His was a towering mind, full of wisdom to all who would listen. Thankfully I did and I have to express my gratitude for opening my eyes about many things. May God keep and bless your soul Mike and grant comfort to your family!

I can only imagine that Mike recently heard the following, "...Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord." Thank you for God's work Mike. Peace and blessing upon your family.

With his death, we have lost still another of the "willing ones"....the ones that are willing to speak out and step forward....something all too rare in our nation. Today, we mourn the passing of a man of courage and patriotism. It is, indeed, a sad time.

An accomplished writer and researcher who endeared trust of others. With this he was able to give us the truth! R.I.P. Sir, You will be missed!

Rest In Peace, and thank you for all you have done.

I think of Mike along with David Codrea as the Thomas Paines of our era. I can imagine Mike deep in conversation and sharing a brandy with Jefferson, Madison, Samuel Adams, Patrick Henry, and others. I'd like to be a fly on the wall at that gathering of patriotic Americans.

You will be sorely missed. I never had the pleasure of meeting Mike. Was an avid reader of SSI for several years. Hope the 3% movement that Mike started will live on and continue to grow.

I stumbled upon Mike's blog through David Codrea's War on Guns blog a while ago and was surprised to learn that not only was I not alone in my thinking, but that there was a prominent voice out in public making it known. Thank you Mike for all you have contributed to Freedom and Liberty. Rest easy now.

God speed Mike, I never got the chance to meet you, but appreciate everything you did.

Through the two times we met in person and nearly a decade of reading his work online, Mike profoundly affected my thinking. Thank you, Dutchman, for your service to Liberty. - Steve from TOWR

A man isn't measured by who he is but what others become in his presence. Mike, rest in peace and thank you for the inspiration. Deepest condolences to Rosey and family.

The Liberty movement has lost an important voice with the passing of Mike Vanderboegh.

Mike was an inspiration to me and many others. His writings were the start of my day, and I am thankful for the time he was here. I never met the man, but I feel as if I had known him all my life. My heart and thought go out to Rosey and the kids, keep the faith, we will all be reunited soon enough.

2 Timothy 4:7 applies to Mike. He's gone home. For his family who are carrying on his fight, 'Huzzah!'

It was an honor and privilege to meet and hear you speak. You always treated me as a friend.
God Bless you and your family

Mike Vanderboegh was the Best and brightest man whom we have ever known or hope to know. He was a friend whose absence will always be palpable. We are richer for having had him among us; and, poorer for no longer having him in our presence. As they wrote about Lincoln, the same can be written about Mike: "Now, He belongs to the ages."

Godspeed, Mike.

When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say,
'I used everything you gave me.'
---Erma Bombeck

Honoring Mike Vanderboegh:
Some gave all... whether on the warfront or on the civilian battlefield. Your courage and commitment will resonate across this land we call America for ages onward - the flame that is you will remain with us forever.

Sail on, Mike: Greet the one Who made you and hear Him proclaim,
"Well done, my good and faithful servant."

A true inspiration for each 111% er to follow. You will be missed, may the father bless and keep you. Prayers to the family.

I have never known a better man, and never will. God bless you Mike. My prayers are with all the family

Godspeed Mike! I will "Carry on"........

It was our great privilege to meet and pray with this great American and brother in Christ, only a few short weeks ago. Prayers for the family and friends, especially those of the III percent.

Thank you, Mike, for your diligence and inspiration. The thousands of fires that you have kindled within the hearts of freedom loving Americans will burn forever!

God speed Mike, it was an honor to know you.

Godspeed Mike, we will remember you always.

Mike will always be one to whom all patriots will be measured.

A man of conscience, discernment and a wordsmith par excellance.

Although we never met, I shall miss him deeply, as will many others.

Go with God, Dutchman - hope to meet you on the other side.

I had the honor to meet Mike a few years ago at a rally in Hartford, Ct. He was a great patriot and will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to Mike's family

God bless you, Mike. We lost a true leader of Men.

He was and always will be an inspiration to all. The world is a lesser place with his passing.

Condolances to Rosie, The Family, Friends, and to many of the III movement inspired by this great American who fought his fights valiantly. Rest in peace Sir. God Bless.

We only met once for a few hours, but you impacted my life. Thank you for the inspiration. I look forward to seeing you again in the presence of our Lord.

Michael was a great American taken from us far too soon. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Just a stranger here who enjoyed his blog, where he fought the good fight for freedom.

III to III Mike. Thank you for your courage and inspiration. We will carry on in your absence.

Mr. Vanderboegh was, and still is, an inspiration to free people everywhere. He will not be forgotten.

I met Mike only once but that was enough to know I had shaken the hand of a giant.

I am sorry for your loss. He was a good man and will be remembered always. God be with you.

A brother in Christ and a friend that I have never met. Thank you Mike for your years of dedication and service to the cause of freedom. You are one of the truth tellers and most importantly a testimony to our living God.

Goodbye "Dutchmen 6" Never Forgotten

With great sadness I say my goodbyes, may all honor you in heaven as they do on earth. Guard the gates until we arrive and keep our 6 sir...

A true soldier and patriot. One of those "Quiet Professionals" who's deeds were are powerful as his words. He'll be missed but never forgotten.

God Rest you old friend. The fights we fought and the camps we shared will always be strength to me. Freedom has lost it's most ardent defender and the halls of liberty echo with the mourning cry of a stricken cause.

RIP Mike. Your great struggle is over. You have shown the way to resist tyranny for today and in the future. Thank You.

Praying for your family. May God cover you with love grace and peace

Gone but not forgotten. Mike's wisdom will be helping lovers of freedom for years to come.
