"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

"I worked with Sgt. Lawson when he first arrived in Baghdad last September. He was assigned to the same police station I was working at the time. In Janurary I transferred to another location. Not being around the 49th at the time of the incident, I just learned to the attack. Issac was a genuine person, and the first to reach out when introduced. His efforts will be missed."
