Big brother Mike and MRAP's

Last week was also a big week for the extended Brogan family. Brother Mike had some face time at a Pentagon press briefing and before the House Armed Services committee. Mike is a USMC Brigadier General, Commander of Marine Corps Systems Command, the acquisition command for the Marines.

The briefing and congressional appearance had to do with an urgent request to shift defense money into acquiring MRAP’s (mine resistant ambush protected vehicles) for our warfighters in Iraq.

Mike handled himself well in front of both the press and the House committee.

Watching both events I can’t help but note the stark difference between the poise, demeanor and character of the men in uniform in comparison to the journalists and the politicians.

Needless to say we're especially proud of Mike and of all the men and women in uniform serving our country.
