I was in BCT with PFC Rogers with A-Co 3-10 at Ft. Leonard Wood, MO. He was a great guy. R.I.P. PFC Rogers. You will be in our prayers. Thank you for serving our country and giving the ultimate sacarfice.
I wish to extend my sympathy to Michaels family, and thank him for his sacrifice and for serving this country. I lost my only child, my son,to Military Suicide July 1, 2003, based out of Ft. Hood, TX-that should say enough. If the family would like to get in touch with me, that would be great. My email is xmilmom@yahoo.com, and I am also located in Montana. I hope to offer some comfort to his family and friends. I do not know his cause of death, but death is death, and being in the military adds to the situation. My prayers and thoughts are with all who serve and their families. I want them all to come home safely, and be treated well when they return. Our government has a lot to improve on. Hopefully, no one else falls through the cracks of this system. God Bless you Michael.
