God bless Michael for his service to our country. He paid the ultimate price for this service for all of us. God bless Robin and Madison and his entire family. He was a great American.
We had such a great time getting to know the Archer family. Michael and I got along great and I enjoyed wearing jerseys with him. He was so proud of his Army Jersey. He had so much fun tubing and spending time on the lake with Madison and our two families. I will miss him. My prayers for healing for the family.
