Bio
My name is Michael Fernandez. I was born to a single mother in Germany and named Michael Grieß. My father, a U.S. Air Force Staff Sergeant married my mother and adopted me in 1960. That was the same year I came to the United States.
I grew up in several states, moving as my father was transferred from base to base. I learned English in Charleston S.C., and never really lost that Southern accent.
I served without any real distinction in the United States Marine Corps from 1975-78. I was honorably discharged and years later received a service-connected disability rating for tinnitus. So now I am a Lifetime member of the DAV.
I’ve been married twice and divorced twice. Both times my fault. Oh I don’t say either of my wives were “perfect” because no one is. But 90+% of the fault lies with me. I say this to my own shame.
