Another Highland man heads to Iraq

By Chuck Gait
Posted: August 27, 2008

On Aug. 22, Mike Beltz, of Highland, left for a six month assignment to the green zone in Baghdad, Iraq. Mike, husband of Ruth and father of Jim, Jon and Jake Beltz, works for the U.S. Government and volunteered for this post. He’ll be gone til February of next year. I was kidding with Mike, telling him that he’ll “be the oldest American in Baghdad”. A while back he told me that he felt that this was something he had to do because two of his sons, Jon and Jake, served in the Armed Forces there. We wish him well and that he’ll remain safe.
