Welcome Home CAPT Michael Wikstrom, Peoria, AZ, 22 NOV 09
Welcome Home Capt. Michael Wikstrom, Nov. 22, Peoria, Arizona
Michael is HOME!!!! He has had a LONG deployment in Afghanistan and he is
finally HOME!!!!
A brief history of his "adventures":
"Last deployment = 15 mo. Camp Eggers (Combined Security Transition
Command) and served as a subject matter expert for the command staff in
matters of religion and culture. He provided religious support to the
soldiers and also worked with the local population including the children.
He headed up the VCR program in A-stan (volunteer community relations). He
traveled to FOBs and conducted religion services and counseling to our
troops.
He also served in Kosovo as chaplain and developed relationships with the
religious leaders there."
In addition to the above he has carried our beloved Nikkis little white bear
with him...as I understand it the bear is no longer white but he has sent
some awesome pics of the bears adventures as well. Blue Star Moms were
gifted shawls and scarves that he sent back! AND he is a PGR member and has
followed our adventures as well. He has been very busy indeed!!!

| Just wanted to thank all my PGR brothers and sisters that made Michael's welcome home so very special. I know he was honored and essentially speechless! You know you've touched a soldier's heart when a chaplain is too emotional to do the prayer! And to have DonnaChristine Park and Michael meet for the first time after working "together" 4,000 miles apart was absolutely amazing! DonnaChristine has expressed her gratitude several times to me for her 1st "ride" and how impressed she was with the PGR...and I am honored to call you all my friends! |
