Memorial Service


We held a memorial service for Chris at Combat Outpost Dunlap on the morning of July 26th. There were probably 50-60 people at the service, including all of the ANGLICO Marines that are supporting the 3rd Brigade. I'm sure many of the other Marines and soldiers barely knew Chris, but they still showed up to pay tribute to him. As some of the senior officers stood up to pay tribute to Chris, the common theme was his constant enthusiasm and eagerness. It was obvious that Chris made a significant impact on many of the Marines and soldiers who worked with him, and he is sorely missed out here.

Because there are others who can say it much better than I can, here are two articles about Chris from his hometown of Beaverton, Oregon.
