"Think about you every day man. You will never know how many people were proud of you when you left for the marines. You set a positive example for everyone that met you on how to achieve goals. I know well meet again one day and you will have funny jokes to tell. Continue to look over your family and friends from up there."

"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 will never forget his smile, and his overall good heart and attitude. I only hope that he and his family know that he did not die in vein. My heart and prayers go out to them.
