Fallen Heroes of Operation Iraqi Freedom

"Today I remember my good friend Willey. It was an honor sharing beers and laughs at Ft. Bragg and I will always remember the last time I saw him in Baghdad. Always with his charming smile. I will forever miss him and it will always hurt. Even though his death was the hardest thing I have EVER endured, I have changed and I will strive to become more like him."
Carlo Garza of San Bruno, CA

"Hey bud I still remember drinking a beer before we left to Iraq. We had some good times and I miss you bro. I was devastated to here you passed and it made everything very hard after that. I am glad when we got back to Bragg they honored you. I'm always gonna miss you and I will never forget about you.

Your bud
Ryan"

"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
