More detail on this person: Mike Solar passed away Jan. 21, 2011 of pancreatic, liver cancer. He was diagnosed Sept. 7, 2010 and was given 4 to 6 months. We tried everything but nothing worked.

I just want you to know that Mike and I went to the reunion in Washington, D.C. and it was the most rewarding event that we attended since we got out of the military. Since Mike lost his leg due to a helicopter crash in Vietman, he never felt that he was appreciated for what he did for his country. He was a man that never asked for anything, including a thank you for serving his country. He was the most patriotic man I ever new and I know that he had a hand in finding Bin Laden.

Thanks and I would appreciate any information that you could forward to me. Have a great reunion, you all deserve it.

From: Mrs. Michael Solar
