Michael was deployed from Fort Riley, KS to Afghanistan the first week of December 2009. He was stationed at FOB Wilson, near Kandahar. On January 3, 2010, while on a routine foot patrol, he was seriously injured by an IED. The same event claimed the lives of his Air Force companion and three soldiers from Fort Carson, CO. While most of Michael's physical injuries have healed, he has suffered the permanent loss of his eyesight.
Michael's Dad, Jim, comes from The BURR Family. The Malarsie's lived in Utah County prior to heading to New Mexico. They have roots here and we would love for all to join in on the fundraising for a friend, cousin, brother, and amazing soldier! Please donate to any local Wellsfargo on Michael's behalf. Anything is helpful!
