To The Family Of Michael B. Doheny:

Thank-you for the ultimate sacrafice. I know these are mere words to you all at this time of deep sorrow, however I pray for you that someday they will be comforting words for you to know that your son, husband, brother was a TRUE AMERICAN HERO! I lost a cousin in Iraq on July 17, 2007, Jeffery L. Chaney, and I know that the past weeks have been full of red tape and pure hell. I can't tell you how you will feel in the future, I will never feel the same but have to believe that your son and my cousin died doing a job that they totally believed in. Jeff also died in a roadside bomb he was an EOD specialist. Bless you all at this time of need and feel free to contact me or you can contact Jeffs' family through his guest book on here as well.

God Bless You All,
