»I går gik solen ned efter en trist dag. I dag er solen stået op igen, og vi fortsætter med at løse opgaverne. Det gør vi, fordi vi fortsat tror på, at vi gør en forskel. Vi lader ikke Michaels offer være forgæves.«

"Yesterday the sun went down on a sad day. Today the sun rises again and we continue to do our job. We do this because we still believe that we are making a difference. We will not allow Michael's sacrifice to be in vain"

Karsten Eiholm Kjær,
Commander of the Danish forces in Afghanistan
