We tell the soldier next to us that we would sacrifice our life to save them. On this day in 2003 I believe the only think on your mind was Staff SGT Reese as you dove into the Tigris River. In the history of battle you’ll here stories of heroic acts. But to have a connection to a solder that went above and beyond what some would say is a solders the call of duty, well I am Honored to be able to leave you this message. When I heard about Staff SGT Arron Reese’s death from his brother in law Ron I also learned about your unselfish act. I know that Arron family will always remember you and the sacrifice you made on that day. Life is a wonderful gift and that gift you gave to America. I want to thank you Todd and your family for my gift of Freedom. ~ SP4 Nilburn Stepp, Reynoldsburg, Ohio
