(I did a Google search on Mike regarding this story. Here's what I found. Very, very cool.)

Sgt. Layne Marti, left, of Eldridge, Iowa, watches as Weber Stone President Mike Deutmeyer, right, guides one of two identical stone memorials into a CH-47 Chinook helicopter from Company F, 106th Aviation of the Iowa National Guard at the Weber Stone Company quarry in Stone City, Iowa, Wednesday, Dec. 1, 2004. The memorials are destined for the unit's facilities in Davenport and Peoria, Ill., in remembrance of the two wounded and three crew members killed when one of the unit's Chinooks was shot down near Fallujah, Iraq on Nov. 2, 2003. Deutmeyer declined to give an exact figure but estimated that his company donated around half the cost of the monuments. (AP Photo/The Gazette, Cliff Jette)

    Yes, peace. Life is too short.
