"I first met Tom when he arrived in the trauma bay at the USAF hospital in Balad AB (LSA Anaconda), Iraq on July 13, 2006. I was the trauma nurse who cared for him. He spoke his last words on this earth to me, and it haunts me to this day (as of this writing it is May of 2014). For those who knew him well, be assured that Tom received the best care by top notch surgeons and nurses. I didn't know Tom, but I miss him none the less."

"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
