Prayers & Condolences For: Michael J. Metcalf BY Anonymous on May 18, 2012
I never met Michael nor his buddy Caleb who was injured. However, for some reason only God knows, I met Calebs mom and wife where they were staying at a motel in Northern VA after Michaels burial at Arlington. Being the son of Iwo Jima survivor I always have and will support those in the military that allows us Americans to live in the Greatest Country in the world. My 2 hour long talking with Calebs mom and wife and watching the posted videos of Michael enforces to me that my everyday work and troubles are nothing. These young men and women give their lives for us and do so willingly. My condolences and prayers to Pfc Michael Metcalf's family. In a small time frame, 3 people from 3 different states shared a common bound of repsect and support. Thank you Michael and all your fellow military family.Michael (Cowboy Michael from Va) Almond
