On this Memorial Day weekend, I read this story, a very sad story, but a reminder of the price some pay for their service.
RIP Chris, and all of those who gave their lives in the service of our country.

"I don't want to define him by his death," Brian Moon said. "I define his life by how he lived and the kind of person he was and the good things that people tell me about him because obviously as a parent, the most important thing is what people tell you that he's doing when you're not around. That's what defines what kind of child you have.
"Everybody thinks that their children and grandchildren are special, but I always knew that there was something special about him and the way he handled himself. I'm sure there's a lot of people in the military now that are active, and families that have lost kids that were in the military, that can say probably the same kinds of things about their children, too. Just kids that were willing to be accounted for and step up and do things that others wouldn't.
"I think it's an important thing to go into the military and he thought it was an important thing. He wanted to do something important. And he did."
