Music For Michael

Pfc. Michael Pearson, 22, of Bolingbrook, was among the 13 people gunned down in the deadly shooting at Fort Hood, Texas on November 5, 2009. Michael’s life passion was music. As a family we have started Music For Michael, Inc. It is a nonprofit organization that will be providing instruments and music lessons to children who cannot afford to pursue their musical dreams. All donations are greatly appreciated! If you are interested in donating an instrument, please contact Sheryll Pearson @ (630) 972-0477, or e-mail Julie Craig at jcraig227@gmail.com.

Dear Family and friends
We know that everyone is seeking answers to the sensless tragedy of Nov 5 ,2009.
In light of this,we would like to share with you some of the testimony given at the Article 32 hearing in Fort Hood.
We were always proud of Michael.Now we know that Michael didn't just loose his life,but gave it.

Re: Music For Michael

Thanks for sharing that, Jeff. While I am sure that you were always proud of Michael, this adds to that pride. It may also help to lessen some of the pain which you feel at his loss.
