Brother, 14 years since the fight of our lives... since that day when we fought like lions, but none more so than you. Many of the guys were wounded, but everyone else made it out ok. Thank you for covering our backs that day. We are forever indebted to you for your sacrifice. And you are never forgotten my brother. Rest easy. DOL. 781.
Jaylin, your father was the most courageous soldier Ive ever met. It was my honor to fight alongside him. Reach out anytime. [email protected]

I hope everyone still comes back from time to time to read these. I always come back to look at the messages that people write, even if it was ten years ago. If you're reading this, HI! It's Chris' daughter. I am now 18. I am safe, healthy, and happy. I am graduating high school in a month and I just wanted to say if you come here to leave a message, thank you. Maybe one day I could reach out to everyone and vice versa and I can hear more about my dad. I read everything that comes through here and it goes unnoticed. Thank you for keeping him in your heart as he is eternally in mine.

You are indeed never forgotten brother. Sincerely, thank you so much for your selfless service. You are a true American Hero. I pray your family is well and blessed. Your brother in arms, Tank

Dear Christian, as the 2nd medic to share in your sacrifice this Anniversary, thank you so sincerely in your dedication to bringing the fight to our enemy. Letting them see first hand how America will stand against terrorism and will not fail! Your love for our community, our Nation, your fellow 7th Group warriors, and protecting your family and is so inspiring and will never be forgotten. I wish so much we knew then what we know now and could go back and report the cowardly contact awaiting the team. We faithfully continue to carry the torch of freedom in our comraderie of commitment to preserving our people and peace. In sincere remembrance of you and the sacrifices of 7th SFG. Your brother in Arms, Tank.

My son is named Christian because of my friendship with Mr. Longsworth. We were friends we lived around the corner from each other , we went to the same Catholic School. Christian taught me to be assertive and brave around others. I was shy and reclusive prior to meeting Christian. The first time I ever obtained a job Christian was right there with me. When someone took my beeper, Christian was there to go and retrieve it. I have so many stories and so many memories. I love you bro. And I will never forget you.

Jaylin, I had the honor to serve next to your father in the US Army Special Forces. I also had the sacred experience to be next to him when he passed. He always talked about how proud he was of you. I never met you, but this Memorial week end I thought about you, because I too have a little girl and often think what would've happened to her if I was the one that never came home. I am glad to know you have learned to be strong and continued your life, but still think of your brave father. Be proud of him as he was proud of you and know that he will always be taking care of you. De Oppressor Liber

Jaylin, your father was a great man. I'm sure you've heard this many times, but it's worth repeating. He was my brother, so it gives me great joy to know that you're thriving. I payed his grave a visit last month and I can't believe it's been this long. I miss him and there's not a day that passes that I don't think about him.

Hi Dad! I missed you so much. I knew you until I was five years of age. I thought I should say how everything now. I'm 14 and in eighth grade, honors student! I've had difficulty but I will fight through them. I have a wonderful family to help me. I couldn't have asked for a better one. I love. Always.

Christian, you crossed my mind today, and I went searching for you on FB and I came across the horrible news. I am so saddened by this news, but I want to thank you for your sacrifice. I think about you over the years and tried to get in touch with you from time to time. I remember the day we signed up for the Army as clear as day. I miss you, and wish we could have talked one last time.

Hello,
We would like to express our deepest condolences and to also let the Longsworth Family know that we recently sent Care Packages to American troops in the war zones. Each box carried a dedication sheet that includes the name, service information and a photo of your loved one. We recognize that this is a humble tribute, but we wanted you to know that it is heartfelt and made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals in the youth hockey community and beyond. We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you strong.
Sincerely,
Charlie Gili & Family

It's been about 4 years since you've been gone Christian. It feel s like just yesterday in our teens that we hung out all together, dev, me, my sis and urself. The memories are embedded in my head and the times when you were there for me more-so. You were the big brother I would've liked to have. Funny how so many years have passed and I still speak to my son about you and he always said you are with God & I know he is right. I know when stuff gets crazy I know you are up there not just for my family but for all those who cared for you. You will never be forgotten and you are greatly missed.
I hope you continue to watch over us...Que dios te tenga en sus brazos por siempre y con nos iluminen con tu luz.

MI Querido Hermano: Todos los dias pregunto a Dios porque? Pero cada dia que pasa pienso que el sabe lo que hace. Fue una dicha enorme tenerte como mi hermano por 26 anos, tengo mas que agradecerle a Dios que reprocharle. Fuiste el mejor hermano del mundo y el regalo mas hermoso que la vida me ha dado y me dara. Hoy te extrano enormemente, pero con la fe y esperanza de volver a encontrarnos y seguir disfrutando juntos hasta la eternidad. Hermano adorado, te quiero mucho y pienso en ti todos los dias.

A Funny story! I was already joining the Army and Chris wanted me to Join the Air Force under the buddy program. I told him no and left for the Army in July of 98'. I wrote him a letter complaining of how bad it was and he joins the Infantry that September! Go figure, lol. It's like nothing ever scared him. He has truly been the biggest influence in my career and the reason why I continue to train and take care of soldiers!!!!!! Thank you Mrs. Longsworth for allowing him to enter my life!

Hey Christian. It's almost that time again sadly. I read these posts and see how many lives you touched. I also think how selfish it is that you were taken before you could touch somany more. The pain does not go away. You are my brother, my friend and my hero. I miss you so much. I was thinking of you today. The last time we hugged in my old classroom. How you called again to teel me goodbye and that you were going to a dangerous place. I just never thought I wouldn't see you again. You will never be far from me I know. But boy do I wish I could see your beautiful eyes again and tha smile that always made me feel loved. Keep watching out for us all. I lvoe you! Nikki

SSG Longsworth,
Thank you for your sacrifice! I hope you are in a better place watching our “6” from above. It has now been over two years since I met you, I am humbled to write to you.
I was the second Pave Hawk flight medic honored to fly with you that night, from Oruzgan to Kandahar. We didn’t know each other outside of radio call signs before you were hit. We may have briefly met in Tarin Kowt when MSG “Eddie” Elizarraras got hit; I flew two of your brothers that day to the TK FST.
Usually when heroes fly with me there is no time to meet, just react. You had already passed before I picked you up and wished there was some miracle way I could bring you back. During that time I did what I thought you would do for me, and took out the US Flag I was flying with and placed it on you like a blanket, for you are a true hero.
I had lost my religion earlier in the war, but for some reason we prayed together for the remainder of the flight. I sincerely hope it helped you get to where you are. You must have been an awesome NCO, because as I reflect today, I realize that as we approached KAF, although I couldn’t help you, you were helping me as if already watching my “6” from above. Thank you Chris!
Touching down briefly at the transfer point, the gunner and engineer immediately left their crew positions, jumping out to salute as you were offloaded. May 19th 06 was also the nine year anniversary my military wife and I started our family of six; at that moment I did not wish to be anywhere else than with you. We tried to honor you the best we knew how while you honored us by your tremendous and selfless sacrifice.
Thank you for giving all, bravely fighting to secure our freedoms, you will never be forgotten!
Thank you Mrs. Cecilia, Ms. Jaylin, and Mr. Roy Longsworth for your sacrifice to our country!
Faithfully serving in the memory of you and our many fallen heroes,
Your Brother in Arms

I met Christian back in 1994 when I first attended Essex Catholic. Chris and I caught the 94 bus together afterschool and hung out most times. Christian was such a great friend that I named my son afterhim back in 98'. I moved away to Cali to come home to this terrible news. I will always cherish the times that me and Chris had. From catching the path to NYC to chasing girls around the neighborhood. God bless his family, and his name will always live on in my family.

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.
The Wind on The Downs
“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”
(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )
Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….
“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”
I did not know Christian, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side
i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.
can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.
i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.
it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side
the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

I have attempted to write something on here several times over the last year and a half but have never been able to find the right words to express the sadness I feel having lost you. You are so deeply missed. I miss your smile and laughter. You meant so much to me and my family. You are my husbands best friend, more like his brother. God father to my son and a cherished friend to me. I am so proud of everything you have done and feel blessed to have had the oppurtunity to have you in my life. I think about you daily and I truly believe that you are here watching over me and my babies while Eddie is yet again deployed to Iraq. Your birthday just passed and it was a very difficult day for us all. Christmas wasn't any easier. I miss spending Christmas Eve with you at your mother's house. Those were some of the happiest times for me. I love you Christian with all my heart! Thank you for all you have given us.

To the family, friends and comrades of SSgt. Christian Longsworth,
My husband was stationed in Afghanistan and was the flight medic who responded to the fateful call on May 19, 2006. I remember my husband calling home from the sandbox, so sad for the loss of this brave soldier. May you find peace in your memories and know that his sacrifice is not forgotten.
Respectfully,
November 14, 2007
Never forgotten. Remembered and thought about always.
August 1, 2007
If this person can stand in battle to ensure my freedom, then I will stand in grief with his/her family to honor him/her. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guest book for the rest of my life, but I promised LE RON A. WILSON (a dear friend KIA 7/6/07, 18yrs old) that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.

It has been over a year now, and time seems to have crept by. I am saddened for the family and friends of loss of who my husband came to know as "Chico." While I never met Chico, I am often reminded of his sacrifice. I know that there are no words that can comfort you.. but know that he has touched a life of someone who never had the honor to meet him. Until they all come home...

Chris, I know I am late, but please don't think that I forgot about you. I thought of you all May 19. Thank you so much for coming to visit me in my dream. It felt so real and I needed that hug from you. Your pictures are all around my classroom, the place where I got to give you my last real hug. Sometimes I still look for you to come in and surprise me again like you did that day. I hope your mom likes the quilt we put together. The pictures of it seemed beautiful. I wish you were still here and I miss you so much. I love you and you will always be my brother. I love you! Nik

Hey Chris -
It's hard to be writing to a webpage, but I just wanted you to know that I miss you every day and I am so sorry for the things you missed out on (Melissa, Jae Lynn) and I so much wish things could be different, and today more than ever, I MISS YOU. I wish you were here every day and I miss you that much more every day. I love you.

Please know how deeply sorry I was to learn of the loss of Staff Sgt. Christian Longsworth, one year ago. A Multitude of Thanks, for this Brave Young Hero's Courage, Dedication and Service to our Country and for Freedom.
Those who Made this Supreme Sacrifice, So Many and So Young, shall Never Be Forgotten, my brother among them. Killed in action Vietnam in 1967.
"Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." - John 15:13
May the Peace of God and your precious memories of Christian, remain in your heart always. May this give you comfort through the difficult days.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Hey Chris,
I can still hear your voice...I wish I had the chance to say good bye to you before you left to Afghanistan. I felt really awful when Dave called me to let me know. I couldn't stop crying. I am glad I got to take you out for your birthday before you deployed and before I left for Guam. I still have you on my msn messenger...funny how sometimes I wish I'll see you come online. I wish you hadn't closed your myspace though. I still have your Afghanistan address that you sent me when you left. YOu were such a good friend, and I miss you dearly. I love you.

Dear Christian.. I was just sitting here thinking of you and the past and I just can't believe you're gone from this earth . I remember the first few times you were at Grams with Annmarie and how you played with Danny and made him smile . He loved you and thought you were so great as we all did . I remember thinking what a wonderful person you were and it made me happy to know that Annmarie was so lucky to have found you . I truly wish with all my heart that you were here and still with Annmarie . No matter what happened I want you to know and your family that you were loved so much by this family and you'll always be apart of us all and remain in our hearts forever . I love you nephew and I pray that you are at peace in heaven and look forward to the day we will all be together again in paradise ! Love Always Aunt Cath

Christian And The Longsworth Family:
I just found out what happened after going online to check up on Christian. I lost contact with him, but in my last conversation with him back in 2000, he was so happy to be apart of the Army. I could only be happy for him and his quest. I've been missing him and will continue to do so until I see him on the other side.
My condolences!!

hi christian, it's me Kimberly. I was thinking about you the other day and decided to look you up on google.I was so shocked wheni saw what happened and thought i had looked up the wrong person. I am so devestated and in a state of shock and disbelief. To the family i am so sorry about your lost. I knew Christian since the year of 1996 and we feel out of contact in the year 2000. Christian i love you!!! You made it to heaven. See you when i get there:)
