Flores en-us https://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/michael-g-mihalakis/#c162963 https://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/michael-g-mihalakis/#c162963 I never met this wonderful young man. Many years ago I donated to the Fallen Heroes Fund and they sent me a Heroes Bracelet which has Michaels name, city, branch, and date of KIA. I have felt very proud to have owned this all these years, but I feel that someone else out there might treasure this more than I have. Please, if you know of a family member or someone that had served with him and you think they would like this then please contact me. Cheryl_Vialpando@yahoo.com.

People used to mistake him for me. They said we looked alike. The morning he passed, he was video taping all of us asking us what we wanted for Christmas. He said all he wanted was a ticket home to his family. I will never forget you Mike, you were a true friend. You will never be forgotten for someone will always remember you.

He was a great troop, very prood of what he was doing and a pleasure to be around. He is always missed in my heart. NEVER FORGOTTEN!

Reminds me of when I wrote my last words but was able to return home with them. I try to remember what I wrote, but I know that I was not as humble as this young man was. May your spirit ride true with the continuing battle! Thank you for your service!
