"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 read Christopher Leon's story in Los Angeles magazine and can't help but feel saddened that such an amazing person with such a wonderful life history has been snatched away from this world. If you guys get a chance, please read his story in the magazine. It is really moving how he his roller-coaster life from being adopted to being troubled teen to an exemplary marine. He really was a true embodiment of what lot of teens go through and thankfully he decided to give the ultimate sacrifice for his country."
