"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"

"Kenya, It's your buddy Claudia. I miss you dearly and I visit you grave every time I go home. I miss our rides from Ft. Stewart to Birmingham. You always kept me laughing. I lost all your mom's information when I went to Iraq but I will never give up finding her again. Rodney, one of your best friends, your brother is not doing so well. He has been torn deep since you went home to Heaven. He is shutting down. I know you see him and you are looking out for him so just reach out and remind him that you still have his back. He is on his 4th tour over there. He talks about you all the time and he is hurting. Speak to your brother, baby. He need's your blessing. We will always love and miss you."

"To The Family of Parker,
I know that your hearts are saddened at this moment and mine along with other friends of Parker's are as well. I met Parker about 8 months ago through my boyfriend, Sgt. Curry. He and Parker were very close up until his departure. Sgt. Curry is still in Iraq, along with other close friends of Parker's and I pray that GOD will strengthen you as well as those he left grieving that are in Iraq and here at Ft. Stewart and that they come home safe, healthy and soon. Remember, GOD is too wise to make a mistake. Maybe we all need to look within ourselves and change what's not pleasing in HIS sight. Sometimes HE'LL give us chance after chance after chance and we still continue to do what we think is right. But sometimes it will take losing a loved one for us to open our eyes and see what GOD was trying to show us all along. It's happened to me and I'm pretty sure many others, too. But you're in my prayers. Your hearts may be heavy right now but continue to trust in the LORD and HE'LL lighten your burdens. GOD Bless You!"
