We contacted Michael’s family today and although they appreciate our offer to attend his services they want to keep everything as simple and private as possible; they thank all for our condolences. We will not be attending his funeral on Friday.

Michael Vinay Bhatia, Contractor, Medway, MA
Michael Vinay Bhatia, originally from Medway and a 1999 Brown University graduate, was killed along with two soldiers when their Humvee was struck by a bomb just north of the Afghani city of Khost, near the Pakistan border. Two other soldiers were badly wounded. Bhatia was hired by defense contractor BEA Systems of Rockville, Md., in September as a social scientist assigned to the U.S. Army’s human terrain system program. The program is designed to help Army personnel better understand the socio-economic characteristics of the areas in which troops are deployed.
