Prayer request
I found out a little while ago that a good friend of mine was killed riding his motorcycle. He was stationed at Andersen AFB, Guam. He was on his way home from the gym coming around a corner and swerved to miss someone stopped on the road. He was killed instantly. I deployed to Kuwait with Matt and I wish I could have 3 Matts working for me cuz there's nothing we couldn't do. His ex-wife and 2 kids still live here in Mountain Home along with a lot of people who knew him. There are also a bunch of folks around the world who knew him well. We're trying to put together a good old-fashioned "Irish wake" next weekend so we can all get together and remember him. Like I said, he was a good troop who was taken far too early. I loved him and I'll miss him. Remember him in your prayers. Thank you.
Mike

Thanks everyone
We're gonna give him a good, old-fashioned AMMO send off on Saturday. Not too many people, just those who knew him. He's still got a few friends here so it should be a good time. Thanks again.
