He said, 'No, mom. If something happened to one of my guys I would never forgive myself."
— Cherie Clark, mother, who wanted him to leave the Army after a serious injury
Clark joined the Army after the birth of his son. Money was tight and he had struggled to find regular work. As a soldier, Clark proved fearless, honest, generous and unafraid to speak his mind. When he was killed, Clark's father, a pilot for a contractor that returns soldiers bodies for the military, was part of the crew that brought him home.

Four memories of Michael K. Clark
Dear Family, although I did not know Michael I thank him for fighting for what he believed in. I thank him for fighting for freedom and the freedom of those in Iraq. May you be comforted by his memory and may I share something from the word of God.
We know that in all things God works
for the good of those who love Him,
who have been called according to His
purpose.
God Bless,
Rachel Perez / Laguna Niguel, CA
