I need your help honoring a fallen soldier !!!!!

I hope this is OK to post here. Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Patrick Roberts. I became a Gold Star Family member on Aug. 27, 2011 when my youngest brother Michael was killed in Kandahar Afghanistan by a VBIED. If you visit his in memory page on Facebook you can read more about him. I have been trying to keep my brother's memory alive by administering the Facebook page as well as coordinating with Michael's high school band to award a scholarship to a deserving student every year. If you have any questions I will be glad to field any and all questions you might have.

Copy paste from Facebook. I hate to beat you guys up for money because it isn't really my style, but I really need some help with this.

We are in dire need of donations to the scholarship fund so that we can double the awarded amount. Please make a donation so that we can continue to honor Michael for many many years.

To donate to the Spc. Michael Roberts Memorial Scholarship please make your checks out to MCR Scholarship Fund and mail them to

MCR Scholarship fund
C/O Jason Bird, Band Director

North Richland Hills, TX 76180

Donations may also be made by PayPal by sending a gift to [email protected]. Please make sure to select the box that says "sending money to family or friends." so that PayPal gets the whole donation to the scholarship fund.

We were able to award the third Spc. Michael Roberts Memorial Scholarship to Daniel Liu (third from the right). Daniel is planning to become a doctor and work with Doctors without Borders. He is a truly an inspiring young man and it felt wonderful to see Michael's name make a small difference in his life. Your donations will ensure that we can continue to allow Michael to live on by helping these great kids pay for college.
