Mike was nominated by his wife, Jackie:
My husband Mike is a true hero. He has served for 18+ years in the USAF and through many deployments, 5 change of duty stations over 3 continents, survived a near death experience and also battled cancer along the way! I don’t know anyone who could have gone through all he has and still be the kind, caring, and strong man he is today. His daughters and I are so proud of him, for his service to our country and for being such a great dad and husband, every single day! I’d love for him to be recognized for it! He listens to your station every day and I know he’d be so happy if he was chosen!
