Project 33 Memorial Foundation is proud to announce our 2025 Honoree, U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Michael H. Simpson. A native of San Antonio, Texas, Staff Sergeant Michael H. Simpson died 1 May 2013, of wounds sustained from the detonation of an improvised explosive device while his unit was conducting combat operations in Ghazni Province, Afghanistan, in support of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM.
Simpson enlisted in the Army as an Infantryman in April 2003. After completing his Basic Combat Training and Advanced Individual Training at Fort Benning, Georgia, he was assigned to the 3rd Infantry Regiment, Fort Myer, Washington DC.
SSG Simpson graduated from the Special Forces Qualification Course in July 2011 and was assigned as a Special Forces Weapons Sergeant to 4th Battalion, 1st Special Forces Group, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington, where he served until his death.
With the blessing of the family, Project 33 Memorial Foundation will host our 8th Memorial Day run in honor of SSG Simpson. Funds raised during our 2025 campaign will be donated to the Global War on Terrorism Memorial Foundation at the request of the family.

7th Annual Memorial Day Run
*May 27, 2024
A Memorial Run from the Town of Hamburg Park (Hamburg Beach) to Hamburg Brewing Company. Total distance of 6.8 Miles. Not a race, just a community run to raise awareness for our fellow Special Operations members who were KIA. The flag will lead the way. Come hang and party with us afterwards at the Brewery for mingling and beer at the Buffalo Blues Veteran’s Benefit.
Only one rule to run with Project 33; the flag represents the fallen, and no runner will pass the flag. Come dressed in your patriotic spirit and bring your endurance
