On January 15, 2012, CPT Michael Holtz, USAR, and Stephen Utley took a step 24 years in the making - they exchanged vows before family and friends in a wedding ceremony in Worcester, MA. They met in college and have been partners since January 1988. Stephen supported Michael's decision to enlist in 1997 and has been a regular participant in Family Readiness activities with the Reserves, including co-chairing an FRG with Michael's mom during his 2003 Iraq deployment. Outside of their military lives, they reside in Arlington, VA, where Stephen is a public school teacher and Michael works for the Department of Energy.

MPFC's "Faces of Our Families" project is designed to showcase and share our military families with each other and the greater community. From beneath the cloak of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" emerged so many beautiful families who existed the whole time, but couldn't be truly recognized and celebrated asthey should be. Now is the time to share these families' pictures and stories to associate human faces with the continued fight for full recognition and equality for our military families.
We look forward to showcasing a new MPFC family each month!
