Fallen Heroes of Operation Iraqi Freedom

"Arthur I'm a 1975 graduate of El Rancho High School. On this Memorial Day May 25, 2015 I will honor you for your service and the sacrifice that you made for our country. Without young men like yourself I would not be able to live the life I have now. I'm proud to say that I graduated from the same High School as Arthur A Mora Jr. Thank You"

"Memorial day is this Monday, the 27th 2014. I am a Cousin of Art Mora and I remind everyone I work with or that I know to please commemorate the holiday properly. Remember those who have given their life for our freedom. I remind them Freedom is not free. I know because my brave soldier art, who is my hero, gave his life deserves that respect. We now have a big hole in our lives without him, but that's okay because we know he was doing what he loved. I love and miss him dearly. All of this posts below are beautiful. Thank you everyone, they mean alot. My Cousin was a beautiful person. Love you Artie you are always in our hearts and always remembered and appreciated!!"

"As I was on here to remember my cousins an a few friends who have passed your name popped in my head, an old friend of mine was close to you, an I remember one night around xmas time of 2010 he felt alone didn't have you or his mother an I was glad I was there for him, although I never met you, I would've loved to, from the little I've heard an the much that I noticed you had an always will have an effect on that old friend of mine. So I leave in your memory, as its getting close to the 6th yr of your passing, a blue rose an sunflower. Hope this wasn't inappropriate, I kno you and your mother are watching over him."

"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."
