"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

""Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those, in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. For just as the sufferings of Christ flows over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows." II Corinthians 1:3-5
To the Kynoch's and extended family I want to express my deepest sorrow at the loss of your son, Joshua. I have read much about him -- his love of his family, determination and love for his fellow man and country. I pray for God's comfort to be poured over you during this time of grief and thank you Joshua for your fighting spirit and dedication to the freedom of others. Although we don't know each other, your sacrafice and others before you is my daily reminder to never take our freedom here in the U.S. lightly, and how fragile and precious our freedom is. May you now rest in His mighty arms and know 'job well done'."
