From: U Williams
Subject: Looking for brother, Michael Williams from Arizona
Message: I am looking for a brother I met once about ten years ago.  He is the closest I have to a sibling and I would like nothing more than to have a chance to know him and any family he may have.  I do not know if he is still in the military but I found a picture on the web that could be him and this picture listed a Michael Williams of Phoenix, AZ  Headquarters and Headquarters Company  1st Battalion, 87th Infantry Regiment, 10th Mountain Division in Bagram, Afghanistan in August of 2001. He is Caucasian and he would be around 28 years old, I think, and his birthday might be in January.  My name is Uriah and I am 24 I grew up in Michigan but I now reside in Sarasota, Florida. Any information you might have would be helpful or you could give him my email and it would be his choice to contact me.  Thank you for your interest.
