Cynthia Louise Jensen George WOW....I can't believe it has only been a day or so and already there are 503 members in this group of people that loved Steven Redd, or once shared a moment with him or became friends with him. Feeling the power of Love is a great thing....

So sorry that I missed the memorial today...my son had his opening ceremonies of the baseball world series he is playing in, but so glad I was able to see and talk with him months ago while I was in Clarksville. Steve and I worked together many many years ago in...

Carleen Cantu Last I talked to him I was congratulating him on his new marriage. Unbelievable. We used to walk home together in 6th grade, he was super cool, I was the new girl, he's had a special place in my heart ever since. My prayers and thoughts go out to...

I knew Steven from elementary school and Jr. High at Piute. Like all the other girls I had that crush on Steve Redd but it was not just because he was soooo cute, he was a genuine nice guy. He was popular, I was not, but he was still kind to...

Thank you all... Steven's group has now grown beyond 250 strong and I'm seeing a ton of his pictures as profile pics. So many of us were disconnected, or never connected at all, but now we are. I've received a lot of messages since I started this group, learned some things...

I came across something tonight that reminded me of Steven. While I hung out with his sister Kathy most of the time I was able to see a lot of the boy that he was. When he reconnected with me a couple of years ago on facebook I was able to...

My brother Steven was a great brother and father. I remember him as the little brother who would always go through my things and write on my bedroom wall when I was at school. He was always full of energy and the center of attention in our family. When he set...

I have been reading all the memories people have been sharing and one thing that alot of people seem to say is how they hadn't talked to Steve in years. But one thing that everyone seems to have in common is no matter if it was recently or if it had...

Like so many others on here I wasn't a close friend of Steve's but I do remember that SMILE...I said a few words in my blog about him this week if anyone would like to take a look, sometimes it helps to read/hear another persons kind words in times like this...

I've been reading through the comments and have yet to post because I haven't know quite what to say. I know how my heart feels right now. I met Steve in the 4th grade. Like all the other girls I had a crush on him too. He was my first crush....

My heart goes out to everyone today in Utah as well as those that couldnt be there (the funeral). Although I didnt know Steve as well as others. I do remember him at Piute and A.V. with his bright smile and helping hand in Piute Pals :) I feel lucky to...

I did not know Steven but I know his parents and what a honor it was to attend his funeral.  What a true American Hero!   Also thank-you to all the men there that served with him.  What a beautiful tribute to Steven. I have a new respect for all men...

I posted a picture of Steve on my fb today and a friend commented and asked if he was deployed and said he was a very good looking man. I never looked at it this way before but I came to realize Steve isn't gone, he's just been deployed to heaven...

I think all agree, Steve’s greatest legacy is left as his children. Yes, it is hard for me to envision a soldier I would trust more, defending my freedom, than Steve. Nevertheless, even Steve would often share that his family was his ultimate priority. I love Steve and Michelle dearly; I...

I was thinking of Steve tonight (Sep 1, 2012) and the last few times I saw him. Just the week before he died was our parents 50th wedding anniversary party and I take comfort in the fact that one of the last things we said to each other was "I love...

Something Steven texted me - Hey thanks for the kind words. I'm very happy that she has a friend as awesome as you. Just so you know, I appreciate you reaching out to me. I also thought you should know that Adalia is my queen, my lover, my best friend, my...

On the road…again! Afghanistan to Zambia Chronicles of a Footloose Forester By Dick Pellek Discovering Chincoteague Bay February 2012 The future excites us and stirs our thoughts about what the next adventures will bring.  While many of the older Chronicles of a Footloose Forester were about memories captured from a distant...

On Friday afternoon and all day Saturday, Tom was training CLAs at our home.  It was a great experience to see how everything fits together as we embark on educating citizens of the urgent need to preserve the legacy of the 20th century before it is too late!  Further, making them...

I once learned a valuable lesson about travelling in a foreign country – always know where you are and where you are going. Seems obvious, I know, but it can be surprisingly easy to get lost. I was in my 20s when I went to Europe one October. My husband, Brian,...
