"You smoked all ur cigarettes and bummed all mine, leaving me with one left. Being the person that i am, i shared my last cigarette with u. while i was using the porta john, u and medina threw rocks and tried to tip it over while i was in there. Laughing out loud and shaking my head. I rode with u every step of the way until it was time for u to go home to ur family. "Got ur back, battle. " i miss u and send my condolences to ur family and friends."

"I never want to forget the sacrifices of so many young men and women. I am so proud it makes me cry at times. I understand in theory only that war is a part of human nature but so is love and caring. I wish I could take your families and friends 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
