I have never told many people, but when Chris was very young we went to an air show in either Ohio or New York. Chris could have cared less about all the aircraft on the tarmac - ALL he cared about was the Golden Knights soaring through the air and landing in the infield! His "1000 meter target" was to become a Golden Knight after HALO school and his SWC tour. It is something that he wanted to do almost more than anything, and so for him to receive this honor, truly makes my heart smile!
So, to the Commander and 1st Sergeant - I can NEVER thank you enough, but I will spend the REST of my life trying!!!

Tatonka316, we are very pleased to hear of this honor, but to be honest, we are not surprised that Chris is being remembered in this fasion, it's kind of a SF thing, agreed?
Tell us, how many have been given the honor of being a Golden Knight post the ultimate sacrifice of laying down their lives for their country?
I'm betting the number is few.
SSG Falkel, rest is peace little brother, thank you for your service to this great nation. You will always be remembered and never forgotten.
