"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"

"Andrew was a good friend of mine through our younger years. We ate lunch together with James Zabloki and Dan Trainor many times in junior high. When i saw this on tv time froze for a minute. To think about how I had spent time joking even poking fun at other people with andrew as well as dicussing music while we ate our lunches. i still remmeber the last time i saw Andrew, he was sitting with James (R.I.P) at a Dairy queen in mesa. I was stopping by with another friend and i sat down and had lunch with them. Its very hard for Dan and I both to know that 2 of our very good friends are now gone.
Andrew won't be forgotten, you can be sure of that."
