Fallen Heroes of Operation Iraqi Freedom

"My name is Edgardo Ramos, I was Steven Platoon Sergeant. I remember the day before he was leaving, how peaceful and relax laying in his bunk, he offered me a pair of socks from a box he got from home. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about Steven and my troops that paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms.

"It's Memorial Day 2007 and my memories of you Steven are as bright and sunny and vivid as the summer day you came to our farm. The smell of the air, the dappled shade under the maple tree, how happy our Pitbull was to have a playmate who could match his strength and and playfully wrestle him without reservation... and how impressed, laughing, you were with him when he knocked you off your feet. I also remember the beautiful sparkle in your mother's blue eyes.
I pray on this day of remembrance, that along with the sparkles of tears falling for our own selfish sense of loss, that we also can lift our eyes to heaven and give thanks to have known you and to look forward to that day when we will all be together again in our Heavenly Father's arms."
Sarah Thompson of Florence, IN USA

"Jason was Steven's Uncle. Even though they were almost the same age. Jason told me about this site dedicated to Stevee D. Jason and Stevee were extremly close, and it was horrible that J and I could not attend his funeral. I miss you Steven. Jason talks of you so much, as your memories will never fade. You know, I go back to think about that time we went fishing when Jason and I were home on leave. LOL It was so funny. The fun memories we have shared will never go away. WE LOVE YOU STEVEN!!!!"

"to the Conover family
I served with Conover in Ft. Sill and Iraq, As I write this message I just cant stop my tears from falling. I cant remember much of him, maybe because their repressed memories from a time of sadness,worry and hell that all of the 2/5 soldiers had to go through while depolyed in Iraq. I am glad to say that I knew him enough to call him my friend, my brother. the last memory I had of him was cutting his hair I would always tease him of why he wanted to cut his hair if hes going to loose it pretty soon.

"I just wanted to say I still think of you Steven. Matter of a fact I'm cring as I type this for who knew as we went threw basic training together this would come about. I remember us being held over and over before finally going to basic. I think it washed all our bad attitudes out before finally going to training. I still remember the day or two prior to getting shipped out BSN in the parking lot about what we where gonna do when we got back home. Seeing new things and knowing danger was all around made you forget about alot of things besides family and loved ones.I just wanted to let you know your in my mind and soul Steven. Matter of a fact I'm working in the same unit where we went threw processing now. In the same Platoon watching soldiers come and go to basic.I tell them of the same probloms we and the other guys went threw just to get by(processing/Basic and AIT) and be with our familys. For the real hard headed one's that want to be in the Army .but have tryied to bring the streets with them in. I tell them of a real good friend that can't be with us today........... I miss you steven!"

"Freedom

I watched the flag pass by one day,
It fluttered in the breeze.

A young Marine saluted it,
And then he stood at ease..

I looked at him in uniform
So young, so tall, so proud,
With hair cut square and eyes alert
He'd stand out in any crowd.

I thought how many men like him
Had fallen through the years.
How many died on foreign soil
How many mothers' tears?
How many pilots' planes shot down?
How many died at sea?
How many foxholes were soldiers' graves?
No, freedom isn't free.

I heard the sound of Taps one night,
When everything was still,
I listened to the bugler play
And felt a sudden chill.
I wondered just how many times
That Taps had meant "Amen,"

When a flag had draped a coffin.
Of a brother or a friend.

I thought of all the children,
Of the mothers and the wives,
Of fathers, sons and husbands
With interrupted lives.

I thought about a graveyard
At the bottom of the sea

Of unmarked graves in Arlington.
No, freedom isn't free."
Corrie Simpson of Wilmington, Ohio

"My name is Laura, I went to school with Steve. He meant a great deal to me and will always be loved by us. I thank God everyday that I had a chance to get to know Steve.

"Steven was a beautiful person and now he has left us a precious gift. Isaiah Andrew Conover was born in December, one month after Steven's death. His mother Cynthia is so wonderful due to her including herself, as well as Isaiah in all of our lives. We are so lucky to have this beautiful baby with us. Now we have a piece of Steven to hold on to and cherish. I can only imagine how hard it was for his parents, brother and sisters to lose him. For me it was heart breaking. Isaiah truely is a gift from God. Even though Isaiah never got to meet his daddy, we wil all tell him how wonderful he was and how loved he is. Steven will be forever loved and missed. He is looking down on us and watching over his baby boy, smiling. We love you guys!"
Kelly Hieatt of Wilmington, Ohio USA

"My grandmother is the minister of the church Steven grew up in, so I basically grew up with Steven. I remember when we were teenagers we were "recruited" to be Mary and Joseph in our church's Christmas play. Like most teens, we didn't want to do it, but Steven came to every practice and didn't mind doing it at all. I know that he is looking over his family now, and that they can be proud of Steven. He is truly missed. Lorraine, Mike, Kaleigh, Aaron, Corrie, Cynthia(and Isiah) I pray for you every day. Be strong in the Lord and be excited because we're all going to be together in heaven one day."
Aimee of wilmington, ohio

"Specialist Conover, goodbye soldier and thank you. You are my hero."
Bill of Houston, Texas

"My mother-in-law sent this to me and I just thought it was wonderful, sad, but truly wonderful. We love and miss you Steve!

"Tomorrow Never Comes"

If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly, and pray the Lord your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss, and call you back for just one more.

If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would tape each word and action, and play them back throughout my days
If I knew it would be the last time, I would spare an extra minute or two,
To stop and say "I love you," instead of assuming you know I do.

So just in case tomorrow never comes, and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you, and I hope we never will forget.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day
That you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss,
And you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out
to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today, and whisper in their ear,
That you love them very much, and you'll always hold them dear.
Take time to say "I'm sorry," "Please forgive me," "thank you" or "it's okay".
And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets about today.

"My name is Kelly Hieatt and I went to school with Steve. He was a great person. Steve was somebody that people could look up to and a person that people admired. He was a strong person. Once I heard the news that Steve lost his life, I instantly started to cry. I knew that this world had lost an awesome person, but Heaven gained an angel. I had never met Steve's parents until his visitation. They both welcomed me with open arms and did not even know who I was personally. They talked to me about how God needed him and he is alright now. It seemed as if in a way they were trying to make me feel better. I hope and pray that Steven felt no pain. I often visit the cemetary where he is buried and it is great to know that he has many decorations and notes from the people who love him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. I know Steve is watching over his family every day and smiling down on them. God bless."

"To all who knew Steven D. Conover, and those who I know do wish they could have: My name is PFC Gregrey M. Ault, I am a soldier that Steven took under his 'wing' when I first reported to C BTRY 2-5th FA - Ft. Sill, OK. I remember Steven as a friend, and as a brother that I will still, and forever die for, just to defend his name. I had asked Steven to be the best man for the re-marriage of my wife. He told me that he would be honored, yet he doesn't realize that I was the man who was honored. I will never forget the soldier, friend, brother, son, cousin, nephew, high school buddy, pal, and man; that so many people knew him as. I will always remember the way that he would tell me that it was all going to be okay. I will always smile with a tear in my eye everytime I hear his name. - To his family: Thank you for Steven, I will always consider him my brother. Rest now my friend, Rest."
Gregrey M. Ault of Fort Sill, Oklahoma, US Army

"Hi, My name is Bridget. I only knew Steven for a short time but I will
remember him forever. He was only 15 when I met him and he was a great kid, someone a mother could be very proud of. He and his brother
Aaron were so close. My cousin Marissa and I were talking about him and how she remembered him. She was only 8 at the time and had such a crush on him. It was so cute back then cause she would get so excited every time she thought he was coming over. I know that saying you have my deepest sympathy's cannot even begin to ease your pain, and I can only imagine how much losing Steven hurts, but my thoughts and prayers are with you every day."
