Stephen R. Bixler
Suffield, CT
United States Marine Corps, Corporal
Assigned to the 2nd Reconnaissance Battalion, 2nd Marine Division,
II Marine Expeditionary Force, Camp Lejeune, N.C.
Killed May 4 while conducting combat operations against enemy
forces in Anbar province, Iraq.
August 17, 1985 – May 4, 2006
Steve was very athletic and excelled in sports, participating in both
high school track and cross country. He was very involved in Boy Scouts
and proudly reached the rank of Eagle Scout. He loved the outdoors and
was most happy while snowboarding, surfing and four wheeling in his
Jeep. He was also active in his church and was an altar boy every Sunday,
right up until he left for basic training.
Decorations:

Steve joined the Marines right after graduation from high school. He
was on his third deployment, his second to Iraq, when he courageously
gave his life, a life too short, for his country. Stephen was just two months
shy of his 21st birthday when he was killed. Stephen was posthumously
awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal with V
(Valor) for saving the lives of several of his fellow Marines. At Stephen’s
memorial service at Camp Fallujah, his platoon commander, 1st Lt. Nick
Lodestro, said, “He was always the man protecting us. He was a dedicated, unselfish, charismatic warrior.” Battalion commander, Lt. Col. James
Bright said, “He was a loving son and brother, devoted friend…Marine.
No more can be asked of any man. When final roll is called and Stephen
no longer answers, Steve is still here. He is emblazoned on our hearts.”
Upon graduation from high school, Steve had taken these words from
the great football coach, Vince Lombardi, as his yearbook quote. Ironically, it stands as a fitting testimony to his life and his service to his country. “I believe a man’s finest hour is the moment he has worked his heart
out and lies exhausted on the field of battle, victorious.” Stephen was laid
to rest, as an American hero, at Arlington National Cemetery. Besides
many friends and comrades, Steve leaves behind his proud parents,
Linda and Richard, and his twin sister, Sandra.

Staff Sergeant Rivera enlisted in the Connecticut Army
National Guard on December 14, 2002 as a Chemical
Specialist. He was assigned to 3-271N in Ansonia, CT.
Feeling a deep sense of patriotism he volunteered to deploy
with 1-102In for service in support of Operation Enduring
Freedom VII. Following a reclassification to an Infantryman,
he served with distinction as a Team Leader for Alpha
Company, 1-102IN in Gardez Province, Afghanistan. His love
of the Infantry and service to the Nation led to his application in 2008 to Mountain Warfare School summer and winter
phases which he completed in 2009. He deeply enjoyed the
camaraderie and esprit de corps he developed with his
fellow 1-102nd Soldiers at the Mountain School.
Staff Sergeant Rivera will be remembered for his love,
joy and laughter he shared with everyone that knew him.
He was a proud son, brother, husband and father. And as an
Organ Donor, he will continue to live in those that received
the gift of life.
Staff Sergeant Rivera is survived by his wife Yesenia,
two sons Rolando and Lorenzo, his two sisters Naomi and
Miriam Rivera, his maternal and paternal grandmothers,
two nephews Marquise Anthony Ramos and Elias Giovanni
Dervos, and his parents Ceferino and Gladys M. Rivera of
Waterford, Connecticut.

New Haven, CT
United States Army, Corporal
45th Infantry Division, 179th Infantry Regiment
KIA Korean War
1928 – June 16, 1952 Corporal Edward A. Zabilowski was killed in North Korea
while serving his country during the Korean War. His brother,
Thomas E. Zabilowski, also fought in the Korean War, but with
the United States Marine Corps. They were the sons of the late
Edward and Stephanie Zabilowski.
In 2006, the mayor of New Haven stated, “We look forward
to continuing to honor local veterans for their selfless service
to our country.” He made the statement as he and his Veterans’
Affairs Advisory Committee were establishing a new Veterans
Memorial Hall at City Hall to serve as a remembrance of the
city’s veterans. Memorial Hall gives honor to CPL Edward A.
Zabilowski along with other New Haven Heroes and also
preserves two plaques from the former Veterans Memorial
Coliseum.
Mayor John DeStefano Jr. said, “We wanted the Veterans
Hall to be featured in a part of City Hall that receives the most
traffic.” “We are pleased to have such an elegant place to
memorialize our veterans and to continue teaching future
generations about those who died in sacrifice for our freedom.”

Waterbury, CT
United States Marine Corps, Corporal
May 26, 1986 – October 13, 2010
Breanna followed her grandfather’s footsteps as she joined the
Marine Corps upon her graduation from High School. A vibrant,
outgoing Marine, she made many friends during her years of service. She strongly believed that one person can make a difference in the
life of another, and she shared this in a very positive way with her
fellow Marines. She had been class president in her sophomore and junior years
of High School at Crosby in Waterbury. She also was a member of
the varsity volleyball, softball, and track teams. She enjoyed being
active, spending time with friends, and dancing.

During her years as a Marine, Breanna was stationed at Camp
Pendleton, CA. She earned many military awards and advanced to
the rank of Corporal as she served.
Her warm and wonderful smile reflected her middle name, ‘Joy’.
At the time of her passing, Rev. Lin wrote her this litle poem:
FAREWELL MARINE
Farewell Marine -- we have watched you grow
Your beauty, your courage, has meant more than you know.
Farewell Marine -- as we stand here today
We will never forget your strength and your ways.
God calls us each at our appointed time
Yet we struggle as we say, “You were mine!”
We cannot believe that you have gone so soon
Our lives feel shattered and in ruin. Yet we hold on to our God and all He has told
And know we will see you again when we walk the streets of gold
Farewell Marine -- we did not want you to go.
But you will live on in our hearts because we love you so.

Eddie was a special young man that made many friends and left
a lasting impression on many. He was the God father of his brother’s
child, always a team player, loved sports, and was an avid fisherman. His letters home never mentioned Vietnam or the war.
It was again a Thursday, when on March 9, 1967, having been in
theater for only six months, Eddie was killed in action as the armored
personnel carrier he was traveling in struck a land mine. He died at
the age of 21 in Phu Yen Province, South Vietnam. His memory is forever etched into the Vietnam Wall on Panel 16E Line 045. The writing his parents chose for his memorial defines this
young Infantryman so well: Loving Memories ~ Your gentle face and patient smile with sadness
we recall ~ You had a kindly word for each and died beloved by all. The voice is mute and stilled the heart that loved us well and true ~
Ah, bitter was the trial to part from one so good as you. You are not
forgotten loved one nor will you ever be ~ As long as life and memory
last we will remember thee. We miss you now, our hearts are sore as
time goes by we miss you more ~ Your loving smile, your gentle face
no one can fill your vacant place. Specialist Fourth Class Edward James Haburey is buried at the New
St. Joseph’s Cemetery on Torringford Street in Winsted, CT.

William flew Kiowa helicopters also known as OH-58’s
and had just found out that he was to become a Pilot in Command. William served in the Army for 13 years and served
in peacekeeping missions over Bosnia. When asked to
sign a petition for Women against War before the beginning of the Iraq war he recalled the horrific things he saw in
Bosnia and stated that it was memories from there that kept
him up at night. “I have seen orphanages filled with kids
and wonder if we had gotten there sooner would their families still be alive.” ... “If the US went to war with Iraq I will
be there. If I could end one person’s suffering that is caused
by a man such as Saddam, I could care less about what anybody thinks.” “We should have stopped him from killing
his own people a long time ago. All people pray for peace,
I am sure the women and me of an oppressive place pray for
peace quieter than they should have to.” He continues..
“Do not ever take your right to free speech for granted. Demonstrate all you want. I love demonstrators. THE ONES
THAT REALIZE THAT SOMEONE FOUGHT AND DIED FOR
THEM TO HAVE THAT RIGHT, I respect even more.”

Friends of Fisher
House Connecticut
Helping Heroes, Helping Families
The Fisher House Foundation builds and maintains long term
residential facilities near military hospitals nationwide. The families
of seriously injured soldiers need a place to stay during the long
rehabilitation process. This vital need is not covered by any other
resource. Currently there are 54 Fisher Houses nationwide. Since
1990 they have provided services to over 142,000 military families
who have stayed more than 3.6 million days supporting their soldier
during rehabilitation. Fisher Houses have saved these families more
than $167 million in lodging and transportation costs. The facilities
are supported by contributions and openings are granted in
reverse order of rank, so that the lower enlisted soldiers have first
chance at housing.
Underwritten by Newman Creed & Assoc, our organization has
promised to raise $3 million for the construction of a Fisher House
on the campus of the VA Healthcare System in West Haven, CT.
Once our goal is reached, Fisher House Foundation Inc. will match
our funds for a total of $6 million and construction can begin.
