Checking In

Oct-12-2004 » Filed Under: Michael Oreskovic

As many of you may have heard by now, one of the soldiers injured in the car bomb attack yesterday is Mike Oreo's son, Michael. Just so there is no confusion, "Oreo" is not his real last name, but it does begin with "O" - we'll leave it at that. Mike is one of the founders of this site, so the news became very personal for those of us that have gotten to know his family this past year.

Michael was flown to Germany where is currently being treated. Mike and his wife were able to speak to him on the phone last night and reported that his condition is improving, which we are very thankful for. Apparently Michael wants to be able to get messages from his buddies in Iraq, but he can't access his email right now. Consequently, those of you in his unit who want to say hello can send a note to his dad at mike(at)strykernews.com . Mike will try and get those messages to his son as soon as possible. I also wanted to pass this along from Mike:

Please let everyone know that he is doing better and thanks everyone for their thoughtfullness and prayers.

Finally, there are many others hurting today as well. For the families and friends of the fallen soldier and those wounded, you remain foremost in our thoughts and prayers.
