In Memory of Navy Pilot Michael Scott Speicher
Lost during the Gulf War in 1991 over Iraq
Returned to the USA August 2009 for burial
Navy Pilot Michael Scott Speicher
Your name was one I have not heard for awhile…
But when I heard the news that you were found today,
It brought tears to my eyes and I didn’t know what to say.
You have been patiently waiting to be found…..
18 years there…. in that very cruel ground.
You have paid the ultimate price and the greatest sacrifice….
Laying down your life for God, County and Fellowmen.
Now that they have found you….you are finally coming home…
No not walking…but in a flag draped coffin.
We Honor you and we are glad you are home, but…..
Sadness fills our hearts today…Your family, your friends and your fellowmen…
Michael Scott Speicher…..you will not be forgotten.
