| Newbie here.. I grew up in Hope and for those who don't know it.. its a small town.. I hope there is a military presence there... hasn't been in the past.
We are so sad by the news of Michael... we lift his family up in prayer during this time. Blessings to all of those that will be there for support.

| SSgt Bechert, I am so truly sorry for what you have had to suffer. You can rest easy now; I know you were received at Heaven's gate by the many warriors who have gone before you, including my son, who was killed last year in Iraq. Heaven is now one warrior stronger, one warrior prouder. As a nation we mourn your loss, Michael, and we will remember you always as a true American hero. To Michael's family, I offer my prayers and support. I am so very sorry for your loss. I pray wonderful memories of your dear young warrior help eventually to ease the pain you endure today. Michael will never be forgotten-he leaves a legacy of courage and honor that few will ever achieve. God bless you. Julie Francis, Matt's Mom |

Thank you for your service and sacrifice in defending and protecting our freedoms. As a nation we mourn your loss, and we will remember you always as a true American hero. To the family, I offer my prayers and support. I understand a little of what you are going through-my son, a Marine LCpl, was killed in Iraq. I pray wonderful memories of your dear warrior help eventually to ease the pain you endure today. Your hero will never be forgotten-he leaves a legacy of honor and courage that few will ever achieve. God bless you. Julie Francis, Matt's Mom |
