This is the first post from this account, the new home of the Hamburger Saint Project. I will be working on an introduce yourself post, but just wanted to let everyone know who may read this that @hamburger-saint is where I will attempt to keep up with the happenings of this community project.

I am glad you enjoyed the gift. Yes, it was tough to cut that patch off of my uniform. However, knowing I was doing it to honor a friend who truly sacrificed all made it a lot easier. I will admit there were some tears, but there was also a joy in my heart knowing the purpose behind cutting that flag off my uniform. Thanks for participating and helping carry on the memory of Sgt.Michael Barkey.
