A leader. Honest. Fearless. A man of integrity.
He should be here today, with his child, his wife.
This man was a loss to our nation.
I'm glad I found you, Mike

Remembering An American Hero

Dear 1LT John Michael Minor, sir

As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.

May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.

With respect, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir

Curt Carter

Great Friend Learning To Fly

Winning smile, always fun to be with. A West Point graduate, he chose to enter the Air Force instead of the Army simply to be a pilot. We called him 'Mach' Minor because of his high energy.
