In this blog post, we are delighted to highlight one of these exceptional individuals – none other than MCOP’s very own, Mike Corcoran.

A Touch of Humor at the Ceremony 
Adding a touch of light-heartedness to the ceremony, Mike initially positioned himself below the podium where President Zelenskyy was addressing the audience. To the amusement of all present, Zelenskyy promptly invited him onto the stage, and as the towering Mike ascended, President Zelenskyy couldn’t resist exclaiming, ‘Wow, you’re tall!’ Laughter echoed throughout the room.
