Michael Nicholson
Sgt. Marine Corps
House Location: Tampa, FL
House Status: Final Design
On July 6, 2011, Corporal Nicholson was on combat foot patrol when he was injured by an IED in Afghanistan, causing him to lose both legs and his left arm and suffer a brain injury.

Eight months after arriving at the National Naval Medical Center, Corporal Michael Nicholson came home to Tampa, Florida greeted by thousands of supporters.  At his church, he spoke to the crowd, “I just want to ask for one more thing; please pray for the guys still in Afghanistan right now and for the soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines recovering in Bethesda, San Antonio and Balboa.  Pray for the ones who didn’t make it back.”    

   After riding in the motorcade from Tampa Airport to his church, which included over 100 Patriot Guard Riders, he said, “That still blows my mind.  I never expected all those people to show up.  I am still awestruck about all of this.  They have done so much for me, I wish I could do something for them.”

At a time when he was struggling with his own life-altering injuries, Michael was not asking anything for himself, only thinking of his fellow military who are still in need of prayers and support, and for all those who never returned... only wondering what he could do for others.
