Hi Jessica,

My name is Brenda Thomas, and I live in Summers County, WV. I think I'm about _3_ hours from where you grew up.

Before I explain the purpose of this letter, please let me tell you how much respect and admiration I have for you. Your story has touched more hearts than you will ever know, and I pray that God blesses you and your family for all you have endured.

Like you, my entire family is, and always has been, patriotic through and through. My dad was in the Korean War, my husband served two tours in Vietnam, and both my sons were active duty from around 93/95 through 97/99. All of them were Army - and extremely proud of it.

So here is why I am bothering you: my oldest son, Mike, is in dire need of someone with a public presence who would be willing to help get his story out for the world to see. Maybe its nothing more than someone being willing to share Mike's website or social media pages on their own. Or maybe that person has contacts in the media who would be willing to at least take a look at the story.

His story is simple. He has been wrongfully incarcerated for a crime he absolutely did not commit. And please understand that I can make that bold statement because he has put 100% of the evidence online for people to see. As opposed to me bothering you for longer than I already have, I will just provide you with the website, and then pray that maybe you are the person we are looking for.

I believe that we all go through trials and tribulations for a reason; That God has a purpose for it. Mike has decided that his purpose is to help other incarcerated veterans with their legal work. That is why he earned his paralegal degree the first year he was locked up. Mike now handles cases for veterans who would otherwise have no help - and he does it for free. Could it be possible that your tragedy might now somehow be used to help someone else who needs it?

Regardless of your decision, I want to thank you again for the sacrifices you have made for this country. I will continue to pray for you and your family no matter what.

God bless you, God bless America, and God bless West Virginia!

Sincerely, Brenda
