akjmpplt 0 #1 March 18, 2007 Chris was killed yesterday in Bahgdad by an IED. He was a SSGT Paratrooper from Ft. Richardson, Alaska. He had a wife and 2 young daughters. He was a skydiver here in Alaska, I flew as he made his first freefall. This sucks.SmugMug Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
