"Michael. You were a pleasure to work and fly with. I miss your positive attitude and sense of humor. Seems like just last month we were flying to Rawah, delivering Christmas trees to those Soldiers and Marines who had less of a holiday than we did. Thanks for all you've done. Thanks for your service and sacrifice to this great nation. We miss you."
"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"
