"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

"On Memorial Day, I think of you. I didn't know you very well, except as my big brother's best friend. I had such a crush on you when I was 14, and every time you came over for band practice, I would hide upstairs until you left because I was wearing my pajamas, no makeup or something stupid. I wish I had stayed to know you better. You live on in my brother's and my family's memory. In rememberance of you and your family, all my love,

Josephine Green"

"I remember when Kyle first came to Hawaii, he was a young private who I took under my wing. He inspired me and always stood tall. He was a model Soldier who cared for everyone. I will never forget the 10 mile runs to Kole Kole pass we would do, and the 144 mile Aloha Perimeter Challenge we ran together. I am gracious for the service that he gave to me and the Army when I was his squad leader and platoon sergeant. I grieve for all his family and friends, and for this loss."
