Micah is a former homeschool student who had a desire to enter the military. A brain hemorrhage prevented that from becoming reality, but he still wanted to show support for our troops while encouraging others to do the same.
He had the experience to begin the process, having been involved in politics with an organization know as Generation Joshua. That's a group that works with teens that have a desire for civic involvement.
Through this experience he wondered what would happen if kids would devote a spring and summer of hosting and promoting a nationwide tour of pro-military rallies supporting our troops in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Micah's efforts have resulted in a program called, "Complete the Mission". These rallies have been held so far in Idaho, Texas and California.
