"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

"I stumbled across this web site in search of an artist Nick Wilson in Tubac, I am very sorry for your loss. I have been writing soldiers in Iraq and Afganistan and sending them goodies for 5 years now. I am so greatful for the sacrifices of these men and women and really think that what they are doing is a huge part of why we have lived without a terrorist attack in this country for all these years. We will never ever be able to repay the gift of his life that he laid down on behalf of my family, my sons and daughter and my 7 grandchildren. Thank you for your sacrifice and may God richly bless you."
