"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

Mora, I want to say that you are truly not forgotten. Me and my family are always thinking of you and yours. Not many days go by that I don't think about you and your sacrifice. You were truly a great friend, husband, and soldier. It is always this time of the year that you are on my mind the most. Hopefully, I will be able to visit the cemetery where you are laid to rest again this year."

"On 25 April 2009 the 3rd ID held a Division All Ranks Ball. As a memento of the event, all present received an ID bracelet honoring our Fallen Warriors. My bracelet commemorates the Service of SGT Arthur Mora. To SGT Mora's Family, I thank you for allowing him to support and serve his country. As the CG said at the ball, 'the status of Army Family Member is not a temporary status, its a lifelong status.' Please know that though SGT Mora is gone, he is not forgotten. I will visit his tree at Warriors walk this week, say a prayer and leave a flower. with my sincerest respect."
