"I didn't personally know anyone who was killed fighting to defend our country. But I never want to forget the sacrifices of so many young men and women. I am so proud it makes me cry at times. 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 grieving families and friends 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

"My deepest condolences go out to all of SGT Arthur Williams' family and friends. He was an outstanding Soldier. I knew him, personally and served with him, "on top of the hill" in Korea. Although we were in different Platoon's, in Charlie Company, we live just a few doors apart. The news has hit harder then I would have expected, but I can say I will never forget. I wear a stainless steel bracelet, with his name on it, everyday. And would like to offer the same bracelet to any family members that would like one. I can be reached at scott.m.williams@us.army.mil
All our prayer's are with you, always.
