"-- David Romero, posted Wednesday on Army Spc. Louis G. Kim, 19, who was killed by small arms fire Feb. 20, 2007, as he crawled between buildings during a gun battle in Ramadi, Iraq, west of Baghdad."
"Rowan, we left for basic training together and we left for Iraq together. The time in between we became good friends. You were always there when someone needed you. I wish I could have been there when you needed someone the most. I will never forget you. May you rest in peace. We will meet again my friend."
"-- Karl Koebrick, posted Tuesday on Army Pfc. Rowan D. Walter, 25, of Clovis [CA], who died Feb. 23, 2007, of injuries suffered a day earlier when a roadside bomb exploded in an ambush attack that killed two other soldiers in Ramadi, Iraq, west of Baghdad."
Dear Reader, These quotes were published by the Los Angeles Times, 2/27/11 and are but a tiny measure of the heartache that family and friends and fellow soldiers feel for each of the 4,442 U.S. soldiers that have been killed there to date.
