This was intended originally to be an interview for a special video project, but as the conversation went on, we felt it was important to let the entire conversation play out somewhere for people to hear. Mike is an amazing patriot who has served his country in one of the most difficult times in our history. The number of deployments he took during our efforts in the Middle East is stunning and were the same in 15 years as they were for his family members who served in Korea, Vietnam and other places in 33 years of service. He and countless others of his peers are American stories that aren't being told but need attention. Thankful to have had this moment with Mike.
