From Steve and Michelle DeFord (son David W. Johnson KIA in Bagdad, Iraq on 9/25/04)

During the long ten days between the time our son was killed and the day his body came home from Dover, we somehow found Charley and Nancy. Their compassion, kindness, and steadfast courage helped us to find our voice to speak out about these senseless criminal wars. I will never ever forget their hugs, their warmth and kindness to two grieving parents in Oregon that were so lost in a sea of rage and despair. We are so proud to know you and be a part of MFSO.
