SETH R. MICHAUD, CAPT, USMC

★★★ Memorial Monday ★★★

Captain Seth Michaud, USMC '98, was lost on June 22, 2003 when a B-52 dropped nine bombs near his position during a military exercise in the Republic of Djibouti. He was 27 and a CH-53E helicopter commander.

Seth was an outstanding athlete, an Eagle Scout, and remembered by a childhood friend as "one of the most upstanding kids you'd ever meet."

He met his future wife, Karen, on the ski slopes of Colorado while he was still a midshipman. They were married in 1999 and had a son, Ian.

Seth's dad, Francis, said "You were so proud to be a daddy. All of the phone calls and stories were about Ian, there were even more of those than about flying. … As a young man you were full of integrity, a person who made a difference in our world. You are my hero and I know you are with us today with that grin."

In addition to his wife, son, and father, Seth was survived by his mother Karen, brother Ethan, and sister Sam. (Sam has been a core member of the Run To Honor board for several years.)
