In Memory of PFC John Steenge
I never wanted to salute a friend's boots, but I did so tonight. I don't have much to say about it right now. Things have been crazy since I touched ground on civilized soil and they may just start slowing down soon. Crazy when your friend dies. Been a hell of a year.

Sometimes life is just not fair!
Sorry to hear about your friend man. That sucks. War takes people from us in many ways. Hope you are hanging in ok.
I love Evans' expession in this photo. Such a kid!
Dean, I hope all is well with you. I could never fathom it all, but know you're in my thoughts to replace 2005 with something great in 2006.
i am eager for you to suck up life now. there will be time for work later. we gotta stop it all dean. all of it.
From another mom whose son just returned, we send heartfelt prayers for you and your brothers who continue the mission. God bless you, Son.
Thanks Dorman for your tribute to my son. Glad to see that he had many friends while doing what he wanted to do for his country. Thanks to all for your thoughts and prayers. Mom and Dad
Don't really post here much but I'd like to offer you my sincerest condolences on the loss of your friend.
May 2006 be a much better year for you personally and professionally. Welcome home.
im so glad to have found this page. my names carrie, a friend of johns from back home. my boyfriend was johns best friend and spoke at his funeral. im going to save this page for him to see when he gets home from work, as im sure itll make him happy to know another person out there who's life john touched. he was a hell of a guy, and i love the picture you posted.. he always seemed to have that stupid look on his face!!! at this point we just need to muster up the strength to get through all of this. much love and thanks again for posting the site!
Just stumbled on this Dorman, and months later I am still beside myself. He was my comrade for 12 horrible months in that hell hole...my brother and he will always be missed. Hays
its weird to find this page 5 months after the fact... i think about john everyday, he was the one person i fell in love with and i spent a few good years with him... i really felt it in the first line and i dont know if youll even get this comment but i wanted you to know that it ment something to me... and i was so happy to see his goofy face... and for the first time, thinking/seeing him didnt make me cry, i smiled and i thank you for that.
I can't believe it's been three years since his passing. It still feels like it was yesterday that it happened. I am so grateful to have known him and I still miss him very much.
Steenge I miss our Iraq conversations. I visited the OH10 (as you would say it) like I told you I would
