Gage, 28, of Modesto, Calif., was killed Nov. 2 in Baghdad by a roadside bomb. He was assigned to Fort Campbell and was on his second tour. Gage enjoyed playing drums in the high school band and worked hard to earn his GED before enlisting. He recently signed up for 12 more years in the Army. His first deployment to Iraq was in 2003. On her husband's MySpace.com, wife Samantha wrote: "Though all of our hearts are heavy with pain, the thing I want everyone to remember is his laughter. Whatever my mood was he could always make me laugh. So if you need to cry then cry, but please please laugh afterwards." He also is survived by a 6-year-old son, Michael.

About Anthony:
Anthony Quayle is the youngest of six children of Madeline and Ed Quayle. He was born in Salt Lake City, Utah on 28 August 1977 and passed away from lymphoma on 24 October 2002 in Monterey, California. At the time of his death, he was about to graduate at the top of his class in Mandarin Chinese. He was already recognized for his work at the National Security Agency as a Vietnamese linguist working as a Senior Airman for the U. S. Air Force. He received the Air Force Commendation Medal for his scholarship and leadership.

Beyond that his family would give him the best little brother award. "We are grateful for the love and joy Anthony brings us still. We are thankful for beautiful thoughts and words in his journals (one written in Chinese), for songs he played on the violin, the sound of his skateboard wheels, his tenor voice harmonizing "As I Went Down in the River to Pray" his tenor laugh, the gentle squeeze of his hand, the thoughtful look from his bluish green eyes, his gentle smile and his sweet breath bring us life, his warm wink, his humility and the beauty he found in this world." - Madeline Quayle (Anthony's mother)

A word from Kristy:
Hey friends...My sweet dog Mojo was involved in a terrible accident that left him with a complicated fracture. At this point, he has been taken to three vets who have all given me the same diagnosis...my only option is surgery. Without surgery, he will have no use of the leg or if I wait, clotting will develop around the bones, in which case, amputation will be necessary. My estimate of the surgery is up to $4,000, a figure that I, as a musician, simply cannot afford. I know that many of us have great financial woes...many that transcend the quality of life of a little pup, but for those of you that are in a financial position to contribute any amount whatsoever, I would be so grateful for your support. All donations go towards Mojo's surgery
