Michael Bracket was commissioned as a 2LT Armor in May 1974 from Oklahoma State University. He served with 3d Armored Division in Germany, 1st Infantry Division (2 assignments), and a tour in the Pentagon and the Program Executive Officer for Armored Systems Modernization.
While assigned to the 1st Infantry Division, he deployed to Kuwait and Iraq in 1990-1991 during Operation Desert Shield/Storm.

This Veteran who has devoted his life to serving our country – now needs our help. He has a genetic condition called Polycystic Kidney Disease that has led to permanent damage of his kidneys. Many members of his family, including his daughter, have been afflicted with this disease.
For medically cleared donors, giving the gift of life through living kidney donation has been proven to be very safe. DOVE will assist all prospective donors throughout the process and make sure they do not incur any out-of-pocket expenses related to the evaluation or surgery. A healthy person can live a normal life with one kidney and save Michael’s life with the other!
Your support, whether through spreading the word on social media or considering becoming a donor, can make a profound impact on his life and the life of his family!
