Hello TST,

I am sure that many of you have probably heard of this by now but a Marine, (then) Corporal Dakota Meyer, is going to be awarded the MOH for his heroism in Afghanistan. What many of you do not know is one of the Marines who was killed on that day was a very close friend of mine, 1stLt Michael Johnson. I and Mike were in the same Platoon together, I got him as a boot 2nd Lt. as the OIC of the Platoon and I helped train/mentor him as his SNCOIC. Many do not know that I had volunteered to go with Mike to Afghanistan as his SNCOIC, I was slated to go but I got promoted and they removed me from the ETT. I do not know where I would be today if I would have gone on that deployment but I know that I would have been surrounded by Warriors like I am right now...

Not a day goes by that I do not think of Mike and that day, I flew a flag on September 8th in Marjeh Afghanistan for their memory...

I salute you Warriors and they are the true heroes of our generation...

Semper Fidelis...
