Together...We Will Not Forget...My name is Debbie Elam and I am the Chairman of the Virginia Memorial Quilt Project. Our group is making and presenting a numbered memorial quilt to the immediate family of each soldier killed in Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom and the Global War on Terror with ties to the Commonwealth of Virginia. We have a website at www.vmqp.com if you get a chance to see the quilts. We have sent 207 quilts as of this date. Please contact me via email or...

My daughter and I just recently learned of Russell's death. We were step-sister and step-mom of Russell many years ago till he was 16 or so, then we lost contact. He and his half-brothers were loved like my own. He was a very special polite, humorous lil kid. We will never forget him.

My first boyfriend when i was 14 and you were 18. I was visiting my mother summer of 88 in Phoenix...Kaimana was your nickname then. My father didnt approve so he bumped my flight back to Montana two days after he found out about you. I was crushed! I have always thought of you will never forget you!! My heart goes out to your mother, wife, and family. After all these years i finally find you..goodbye my sweet friend.
