He had previously served two tours in Iraq from Oct. 2007 to November 2008. His four-year enlistment with the Army was set to expire in March. He would always find a way to get to a phone as he was deployed, just to make sure everyone (at home) was all right, said his mother, Dawn Roberts - He was a guy you could always count on. He had an amazing moral standard. And he was so protective to his little brother (Samuel), who has cystic fibrosis.
Michael Kirspel was assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 6th Field Artillery (Strike), 1st Brigade Combat team, 10th Mountain Division, Fort Drum, N.Y.
Michael Kirspel received several awards and decorations during his tenure, including the Army Commendation Medal with Valor, the National Defense Service Medal, the Afghanistan Campaign Medal, the Iraq Campaign Medal, the NATO Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, the Army Achievement Medal, the Army Service Ribbon, the Overseas Service Ribbon, the Combat Action Badge, the Marksmanship Qualification Badge and the Driver Mechanic Badge.
Let us pray to God the Father, Jesus, all of the saints and all of the angels that Michael Kirspel is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen
