"This is my amazing husband Micheal Joe Mcguire! He is an employee of Excel Mining (Alliance Coal) and works hard to provide for our family. It doesn't matter to him how long he has worked or how hard his day is, he is always there and shows up for our babies! He is the most selfless man ever and always puts his family first! Our babies absolutely adore him and Easton our son tells people he is a coal miner like his daddy, we are beyond blessed and thankful!" -Mollie, coal miner's wife, Facebook Post

Calipari was so moved by McGuire's commitment to his wife and son—and the UK basketball team—that he posted about the coal miner's presence at the game, and even offered the VIP treatment to the family.

Don't know who this is, but I have tickets for him & his family at Rupp to be treated as VIPs!!"... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
