"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

"It's easy to get numb to the statistics after reading daily newspaper articles about young men and women who have died in Iraq. But, when you happen upon a loved one printing photos of that soldier at a WalMart kiosk, it becomes so very real. My heart goes out to all of the family. I am sincerely grateful for Patrick's sacrifice."
