WIXOM, Mich., (July 13, 2011) – Sgt. Michael Ingram, Jr. returned home to Monroe, Mich. on a cold, rainy day to Selfridge Air National Guard Base, in a solemn ceremony, as Patriot Guard riders stood in salute of a fallen Michigan hero. Sgt. Ingram was killed in action (KIA) on April 17, 2010, while serving his country in Afghanistan.

His sacrifice will be honored with the support of seven Michigan venues, where filmmaker Keith Famie and Visionalist Entertainment Productions’ documentary film “One Soldier’s Story” will stop on their film premiere tour.
