Michael P. Flores

Staff Sergeant Michael P. Flores was killed in a helicopter crash on June 9, 2010, near Forward Operating Base Jackson, Afghanistan. 

Michael P. Flores was assigned to the 48th Rescue Squadron stationed out of Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona. A Taliban spokesman said insurgents fired two rocket-propelled grenades to down the NATO helicopter on Wednesday. The crash happened in Helmand province, part of a volatile region where Taliban still hold sway despite a U.S. troop buildup.

Sergeant Flores is survived by his wife and two children.

Let us pray to God the Father, Jesus, all of the saints and all of the angels that Michael Flores is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen
