"Rick was a great friend in HS, and never was without a smile. He was one the most authentic, caring, guys I knew. Even though I had not seen him since his early days in the Army when he was on leave, I can still hear his laugh, and see his smile. It was an honor to know such a man, and I look forward to seeing him again one day."
Ron Morgan, Jr. of St. Clairsville, Ohio

"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"
