Fallen Heroes of Operation Iraqi Freedom

"Mike,

You came to our office and brought spirit and energy. You were part of the legal team and your peers and subordinates respected your judgment and integrity. Your loss was immense, both at the Carson OSJA as well as in the JAG Corps. We miss you brother. Wendi and I pray for your family and loved ones."
CPT Allen P. Zent of Ft Riley, KS

"Sir, during our deployment, I got to know the real Mike Martinez. You were a devoted family man, outstanding officer, and a true warrior. You always made time to help the Troopers of the Regiment with their personal issues back home. Your big smile was always a welcome sight when coming back from missions outside the wire. You are missed but will never be forgotten."
