Dennis McKenzie and Mike Bevins were friends at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Mich. They stood up in each other's weddings. And while they now live on opposite sides of Michigan, they are still friends. So it's no surprise that when Bevins, a sergeant in the Army Reserve, was injured in Iraq, McKenzie stepped up to the plate.
McKenzie wrote a letter to the "Drew and Mike Show," a hit radio program on WRIF, Detroit. The DJs have a fund that donates to various causes and McKenzie was hoping they could help out. Drew and Mike ended up reading his letter on the air, and that brought in much more than expected.
