18 Nov 2001 IN MEMORY OF MICHAEL C. LINDSAY Although Mike has been gone over 32 years, he is not forgotten. The niece he never knew (she was born 2 days after he left to return to duty and deployment in Viet Nam) knows of him and the price he paid for her way of life. One of Mike's sisters went to be with him and the Lord on June 2, 1992, but the rest of the family still misses him. "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord." 2 COR 5:8 A memorial initiated by his brother-in-law. E-mail address is not available.

03 Aug 2003 In loving memory of the uncle I never knew Although I was born in 1970 and have only pictures and words given to me to describe my uncle, we do have a common bond that is shared with all like us. We are brothers in arms, Men and Women of courage, soldiers of fortune and all of us are the definition of freedom. I too have served our country in its time of need during the first Persian Gulf War. Even though we have never met he was with me when I was alone in Kuwait, with me when I was in danger in Iraq, and with me when I had returned to my Family safe and sound. My homecoming was for him and all of the thousands of soldiers throughout our Armed forces who did not make it back alive to be with friends and family. To you, Michael, one of the bravest men I never met but carry with me in mind, heart and soul. From his nephew James Michael Anderson michaeljam@hotmail.com
