Because there are not many "messages", or "memorials" left for Michael, is not to presume that nobody cares ... it is because we care so deeply. My brother is dead 36 years (1966-2002), and I can hardly write my feelings ... 36 years after his death. He was 23 years old when he was KILLED by the leaders of our government... He was CHEATED out of his life ... he never had a wedding, a child born, he wasn't here to comfort my Mom and Dad when they needed him, when we needed him. And, even today,at family gatherings, when my nieces and nephews, and my own children are together, I miss Michael, and his presence in our family.

He was only 23 years old! I wish he hadn't died!

From his sister.

Michael, I remember your ready smile and pleasant, friendly manner. I remember last seeing you and speaking briefly at the corner of Sunset and Broadway. I remember the sadness upon hearing of your death. I remember visiting the Vietnam Memorial for the first time and finding and touching your name. I do think of you from time to time and always will. Peace be with you.
