This is pretty much it for me today, I’m punching out early to go watch cartoons. Read what this father has to say<\/a>, and if you would, go tell him that we care.<\/p>\n

The flight the next evening was very similar with the all of the same going on. There was a bit of a difference as there was one man on the plane who had a special story for us. I met my son\u2019s 1st SGT. He was with my son seconds after the blast and held his hand during all of the activities of the fine medic to stabilize him and stayed with him until the put him into the medivac chopper. He told me that my son gave him that same silly smile as they put him on the bird. This man was obviously hurting and I talked with him and we came to an understanding that these men did everything they could do and that my son died doing exactly what he wanted to do and he was among the finest men and finest friends that he would every have the honor of knowing. I had a few conversations with some of my son\u2019s closest friends. I only hope that we all gained a little more understanding and peace over the subject. I know that these men are all affected by my son\u2019s life and untimely death. I only hope that they realize that there is really absolutely nothing that they could have done to stop this, there is no ill will or blame on our parts towards anyone but the assholes who set up the attack. We all have lost Micheal, but there is no sense in trying to kick the lid off of the \u201cwhat if\u201d bucket and torture ourselves with that. I know that these are the finest men in the planet and all of them did what they could.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
