"It has been a little over 5 years since you passed and there has not been a day that has gone by that I have not thought of you and your family Anthony. You were a tremendous soldier-and B/1-24 IN was better because you were a part of us. It was my personal privilege to serve as your Company Commander and fight with you in Mosul. My deepest condolences to Michelle and the children- know that the Davis family will always be in my thoughts and prayers."

"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
