My condolences to the family of Michael Duchamp. I served along side him in Iraq 2008-2009. He always tried to make light of any situation we were in. He was a great guy to hang around with. Damn good soldier. He would give the shirt off his back for anyone. I hope you rest in peace Duchamp!

I can't stop thinking about all the trouble we got into when we were little, and all the fun we had getting older. I cherished you not only as my cousin, but as one of my best friends. We shared so many good memories, always took up for each other, and always trusted each other. A bond that could never be broken. I love you so much homeslice!!! You will never be forgotten!
