October
24, 2005. Security Forces member, A1C Michael Fletcher, sustained
serious, multiple injuries while serving in South West Asia on patrol as a
turret gunner. He has been
transported to Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
Currently, A1C Fletcher is being treated at Walter Reed Army Regional Medical Center as an outpatient. He was released from the hospital as an inpatient last week. He resides in the DC area with his wife, Yolanda.
A1C Fletcher had to be resuscitated
twice during the initial response. He kept coming back, to the sheer
amazement of the doctors treating him. His strength of will has been the most
critical part of his survival.
His family was flown to Walter Reed to see him...at much expense. His
wife, currently 6 months pregnant, resides with him in the DC area pending his
continuing outpatient treatment.

A native of New Orleans, the Fletcher family witnessed the tragic events of Hurricane Katrina that ransacked what used to be called their home and neighborhood in the Big Easy, New Orleans LA.
Out of concern for privacy and on-going operations we cannot provide more specific details other than how to help and where that help can be best applied.

We enhanced the note on the back of the photo, moved it to the front, and made it so that the photo can be displayed in AIC Fletcher's room at Walter Reed with the kind words of condolences readable from A1C Robert Kramer on behalf of Badger Flight 48th Security Forces Squadron. Mike has the original too.
