Chris - I could not let the day go without blogging and saying HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 20 years old, eh? Did you ever think you would celebrate a birthday on the streets of Baghdad, patrolling neighborhoods and hunting insurgents? Mom and I did not...but we couldn't be any prouder.
I thought about your day and how you might have spent it...I expect you were so busy it slipped by pretty quickly. So, Mom and I celebrated on your behalf. We shared a meal with Jake and Haley that made us think of you...BBQ ribs with all the fixings...and ice cream at DQ...
Take a glance at the photos...as I said in an earlier blog...don't blink...
We miss you buddy and love you more than words can say...we remember you and the warriors of the 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment...
Happy birthday and be safe!!!!!
Love,
Mom and Dad
P.S. The pictures were mom's idea ;-) (Really, they were...)

Hope you could take some time for yourself. And aren´t there some cakes or cookies in the MREs?
