On March 21st, 2012 at 12:06 AM, Christopher's daughter came into our world.  She weighed 6 pounds 14 ounces and was 18-1/2 inches long.  I am sure Christopher is looking down and admiring his beautiful new daughter and he knows how much joy she has put into all our hearts!

The journey is from Scottsdale to San Diego on October the 12th. This year their goal will be to raise 3 hundred thousand dollars which they will present to the Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund during the closing ceremony at MCRD in San Diego.

David Kistner does the ride each year, he is the one that will tell Christopher's story to his group and take his picture on the ride to the MCRD.  David's son has done 2 or 3 tours of Iraq and his job was finding and dismantling IEDs and other roadside bombs.  He knows first hand the negative psychological effects, his son suffers from PTSD. 

David can been seen in the photo holding Christopher's photograph that he will carry with him on the ride.

Your grandad Flatt and I put many hours and lots of love into honoring you with this urn for your ashes.  We worked hand in hand in joining the narrow cherry wood boards with glue and clamps, then cut each side to the correct size and angle.  I then had each side and the top laser etched.  The EGA on top and an inscription on each of the sides.  We spent hours hand sanding each piece before assembly and I spent many hours hand rubbing oil into the wood while thinking of you and how much I will miss you.  Someday we will once again be together.

Everlasting love to you my son.  You are in my thoughts constantly.
