If only we could tell a love lost just one more word, have just one more look. Only in our dreams does this wish come true, so how do we deal with it when the light devours the night once again?
This is real for so many, as they give all for their buddies, while fighting for their country. Army Staff Sgt. Micheal E. Dooley did just that on June 8, 2003. He went out into harm’s way to assist a supposedly sick man, when the person that was seeking medical assistance killed him in Al Asad Iraq.
This update site is not normally used for the purpose of reporting casualties. Today, I met his wife Christine Dooley in person while at a function having a “Support The Troops” banner signed by the public. I then discovered that her husband and I had walked the same path on Fort Carson, so this is personal to me. I am dedicating this site this week to the memory of Sgt. Micheal E. Dooley, and to all who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of their country.
Close your eyes, then open them, now try to imagine that the one person who you love more than yourself is gone forever. Forever is forever, and time is now.

This is such an amazing thing for you to do. I have a loved one over there now...who was with micheal the day he passed away. I have not met his wife, but talked to her a couple times. She seems to be an amazing person. I thank you for doing this for her, her daughter, and for Sgt. Dooley.
