"I never want to forget the sacrifices of so many young men and women. I am so proud it makes me cry. I understand in theory only that war is a part of human nature but so is love and caring. I wish I could take the families pain away but I can't. I am committed to loving ALL people, myself and our environment. I am committed to working on my happiness everyday because so many have died for my freedom to live my life. Thank you is not enough but it is all I have. All my love and respect. ogersteiner@yahoo.com

"Kevin,
I was feeling overwhelmed today and looked at your picture. Your face is comforting but the suit brings back the memories. I was able to meet the family you often spoke of. They are wonderful and will be in my thoughts as often as you. I am honored to have known you and to consider you a friend. You are directly responsible for saving many lives within my unit. As they are again deployed to Afghanistan, I am left behind to worry and wait. Thanks brother, for the impact you have made on my life. I will never forget!"
