“Having served as a fellow Army officer with Mike in the Second Armored Cavalry, I spent many a cold, wet, and sleepless night with Mike on ‘Freedom's Frontier.’ There are two things you always knew about Mike: His dedication to duty and to the mission was paramount, and his loyalty to his soldiers and fellow officers was unquestionable. This book is an important read for all Americans.” — Jeff Boobar, former Army officer and retired DEA special agent
