The world is aware of the tragedy that occurred on a baseball field in Alexandria, Virginia, last week. A lone gunman shot members and volunteers of the Republican team playing in the annual Congressional Baseball Game for Charity and the plained clothes Capitol Police on site protecting the Majority Whip during their early morning practice.
What I was shocked to find out is that the brother of one of my dearest college friends was there, Matt Mika. It is known that Matt was injured critically. Although he is progressing and better than he was when he was rolled in to The George Washington University Hospital, Matt still faces a long road to recovery. With that in mind, please consider helping Matt and his family at this time on the Go Fund Me page set up for Matt.
Matt signed the game ball for last week's game: Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose. #9 Matt Mika. In that spirit, onward.
