To the family of Christopher Sitton.
I wanted to let you know that our Montrose High School Track & Field team is honoring Chris with a picture in our team room. His state participation signature on our track door will remain there forever, and every season as the athletes who earn a trip to the state meet are preparing to sign their names on the wall, they will first be directed to see Chris and hear of his sacrifice for us all.

SGT EDDY again. I want you to know that I cherish the friends I meet in the military more than people I grew up with. We were a family and looked out for each other. I was a SGT in the Air Force and head Crew Chief of the first C-5 Built since the 60's.I was in the Air Force and Army. Chris is someone I wish I could hang out with to day. He always had a smile.
January 30, 2019
I miss my friends. People I did not grow up with but trust them more. I struggle. He could tell you stories of what he has been thru and loved every minute of it. The fear of death can never inter your heart. We did what God had us do. I loved every minute of it and I know he did. He helped people who could not help themselves. When I got the word on the radio. I had my driver stop. I got out an unloaded my weapon. Again. I knew Jackson. I don't know why it is hitting me so hard now. Never knew him before but trusted my life with him. SGT EDDY 10th Mountain Division 3rd UA First of it's kind.

Chris, I miss you. Rest in peace.

I am SGT EDDY. Chris brought me to the hospital when I broke my leg. He waited for me. He was a great person. Someone who cared about others more than his self. He and Jackson passed on my birthday. My birthday will always be to honor my friends. Rest in peace Chris.

Dear Chris, I went to see you today, eventhough I know that you aren't "there'. I had an amazing Memorial Day Weekend with great friends, great food, and so much laughter. I just want to let you know that I know these times were bought for me, for all of us, by you and so many others. I told my friends the story of the food fight that ended up in my kitchen and of your being covered in Italian salad dressing...it was a great memory to share. I think of you often. I miss your laugh. I cried today, but I laughed, too. I think you would rather have us laughing and living. At least, I hope so.

Today makes 4 years. I cannot believe how much time has gone by.. sometimes it still seems like yesterday that I was saying hi as you were getting in the gator to go grab chow. It's hard to find the right words to say sometimes, but I whole heartedly believe that you are watching over us, like you always have. I love you and miss you and Jackson!

I only new of SPC Sitton a little.I was in his unit an I did talk to him and was a friend. He was an awesome person. They say only the good die young. In his case it's so true. He passed on my birthday with SGT Jackson. My birthday will always be to celebrate them both. Although I made it, I struggle. They both are heros in my heart. He gave all an no less. I no longer have a birtday but a day to honor hero's. God bless you Chris. SPC Eddy. Bravo Companyn 710th BSb.

Let me just say I am glad I found this. I am just sad that I had to find it. That fateful day of the year is coming up on us again. I hate to even have to think of this day. Sitton was a good guy. I know he is up there, and is watching over us all. I know he wants us to be happy and rejoice in the life he did have, but it is so hard. It doesn't get easier, we just learn to hide it better. Sitton, I would have taken your place if I could have. I miss you and Jackson. Please rest in peace battle buddy.

A couple of years ago, I was deployed in Kosovo. I got a call from my mom over there worried about some reports that a 'Christopher Sitton' had died in Afghanistan. Obviously, I was a long way from Afghanistan.
After I got home, I had just started trying to get my music online. Out of my vanity one day, I typed in my name to see what would come up. There were no hits for my name, at least not for like 4 or 5 pages...At the time,though, there were pages about the war in Afghanistan, the war in Iraq, and about a soldier named SPC Christopher F. Sitton who had apparently been killed by an IED.
I felt very stupid at the time that I was so worried about my stupid little songs, and my silly little dreams. And here was a guy...who would never get to dream again.
I am in Iraq now, about to come home soon. I consider myself blessed by the sacrifice of Christopher F. Sitton. I just wanted to say thanks to him, to his family, and his friends. I can only imagine what it must be like to have lost someone so precious to you so early.
I wrote a song for you and well...for Chris...and I hope that you are not offended by that. I am really just very deeply moved by his heart, his gift, his life, and I hope one day I will get to meet him and say "thanks."...until then, this silly song will have to do.
The song is actually called ,"Chris Sitton" If you would like to listen to it...here is the current link:

I miss you...everyday. I catch myself thinking,"O lord, here comes a smartaleck comment from the peanut gallery!" and then nothing. I miss my best friend. I'm trying to be strong like you told me to be the last time we spoke on the phone. I try not to remember the tears as you put me on that helicopter and kissed me for the last time. I miss what we were, and I miss what we could have been. You'll always be in my heart. I love you

Today in our beautiful town, a young girl of 13 asked us to take a name and remember you on this Memorial Day.
My family stood for you, and in honor of you,and the sacrifices you made for your family, friends, community, and country.
We cried tears of love for you and your family. We may not have ever met you, but we couldn't have felt closer to anyone, than we did to you today.
From this day forward, I will think of you often and I will whisper your name on every Memorial Day.
We are forever in your debt, and can never thank you enough for yor bravery, service, and sacrifice.
Rest in peace, mighty warrior.

This day always reminds me of a friend of mine named Chris Sitton. When I was growing up in rural Lake Tawokoni in Texas, I was a pretty awkward kid. I had few friends and I was constantly bullied. Couldn't go a day without being punched or something. At about 5th grade I joined a Boy Scout troop called Troop 212. Chris's dad was the scoutmaster of that troop, and despite the fact that Chris was several years older than me, we became fast friends. Chris was the opposite of me. He was popular and handsome, even at that age, and was tough. No one messed with him. Never had a problem with the ladies. Excelled in sports. The one thing that made him different from everyone else was that he actively defended me. He didnt care at all for my awkwardness, we discussed video games and nerd things often. He was hilarious and just as smart as he was tough. When people messed with me, he would step in and solve it real quick. I cannot stress what he did for me during that time...words cannot describe the comfort that brought me, that he saw that I was weak and defended me when he could have ganged up on me with everyone else.
I was in that troop until he and his family moved to Colorado. The troop after that lost pretty much everything that made it worth staying in and I moved to another troop shortly after. We pretty much lost touch since then, I graduated and entered my first year in college 4 years ago when my mom told me the news and what happened to Chris.
I dont often cry, but I wept like a girl that day. He had a huge impact on me at a critical period of my life and I dont think I realized how much that meant to me until the day I found out he was killed. If I could be half the man he was, then I think I'll do fine. Chris, I really wish I could buy you a beer for the sacrifice you made and the casual way, for you at least, in which you affected my life. I suppose I'll have to wait until it's my turn to leave this reality and hopefully I'll be worthy enough to meet you in the next.
To Mr. Sitton and Mrs. Sitton, it's taken me a while to find this place, and I hope you see my message. I wish you guys strengh. If you need anything please send me a message.

Chris,
Well I'm deploying again this week to Afghanistan this time. I'm a little nervous but I know you will look out for me and will always be by my side. I want to say thank you for that. I miss you so much and I think about you everyday. I can't wait to see you again one day and we can share our Army stories.

To Steve, Judy, and Laura:
I am so sorry to hear about Chris, not only did I enjoy Chris in band - but I also enjoyed your family at all the school events. The fun stories of scout camp, nascar, and other topics will always be in my memories.
I know Chris will leave a void in all our lives, but certainly for me, my life was much richer for knowing him.
With deepest sympathy,

In Memory of Christopher ~ (Debra Estep)
August 19, 2008
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 Christopher, 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 am thinking of you today... as I do everyday. I know you're in a better place, but my heart still breaks knowing you are not here. Thank you for looking after us girls like a brother.. thank you still because I know that you still look down upon us and look after us.
To your family:
Thank you for Chris. He was a beautiful person! I loved him as a brother and a best friend. I'm still doing my best from far away to take care of Ashes... although I'm still in Drum and she's at home in TX now. Chris asked me to take care of her and look after her and I hope that he knows that I'm trying, even from so far away, I'm trying. I will never forget him for as long as I shall live.
I love you and miss you so much Chris!

To Chris: I can only say that you were like a brother to me. I have never loved a friend the way that I did you. I will never forget the missions we were on together, the water fights we had (when we should have been working), "muddin" in your jeep (and digging it out when you got stuck), ALWAYS getting in trouble and getting smoked together, chasing turkeys and about a million other memories. I only wish I could have been there with you... Till the end, right? I will always have the last email you sent me the day before... I love you and miss you. Until next time... It's all good, man.
Mr. and Mrs. Sitton: All I can say is thank you for raising your son to be the man he was. He knew how to be a friend to all. Chris was the person you turned to when there was no one else. Be proud of all he did, big and small.
Ashley: I can only imagine, yet I never want to know. I know its hard on you still, you two were perfect. Nothing made more sense. If you ever need a friend you know how to reach me.

I am so sorry for your loss.
August 16, 2007
There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.
Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.
I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.
REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

My precious son,
Today is Memorial Day, the first since we lost you on that fateful day in August. Many wonderful people came to honor you and all the other brave soldiers who served our country. Many of those who attended were your friends and many never met you. But everyone felt the pride and sorrow from the loss of you.
I miss you every moment of every day and mourn the loss of the life you still had to live and experiences you missed. I am so proud of you. I love you with my whole heart and look to the day I will see you again. God bless you my precious son.
"It's all good". I will love you & miss you forever.

“Soldier”
Written to Honor the Service of Our Fallen Soldiers
Soldiers write history, we pay the price
Many miles distant, you live the life
Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still
We hope and pray that all will find peace
In God, in the flag, in memories of valor
Gone now, our pride and courage you see
“An Army of One” our motto forever
Willing to risk all for love of our Brothers
We’re still Your Soldiers…and we showed the way
Our Lives too short, now pray for the others
Lived free died Heroes in lands far away
Deep within souls all cherished our Service
We’ll always have what some never know
Courage and Honor, our names forever
Lived life with purpose…just our time to go
We march in the Heavens with Honor and Glory
Missions accomplished we fought the Good Fight
Many years from now…we’ll tell the full story
Until that Day we will live in the Light
Our lives we laid down in a land far away
Still watching o’er you this night and by day
No need to talk…just know we are with you
There in your hearts and we hear what you pray
Yes we are your soldiers
Our lives we laid down
Still We guard o’er you
Still Duty bound
Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still
We’ll always have what some never know
Lived life with purpose…it was our time to go

Chris, I just wish someone could explain why these things happen and always to the greatest people on this earth. I wish i could have said goodbye...or seen you just once since we got to Afghanistan. I remember the night you got your jeep stuck in the Adirondacks and you hadn't eaten all day. We sat in my room watching "Good Morning Vietnam" and I made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Wow... it seems so long ago. My heart hurts for one last bear hug... I think I still have the $1 football that you and Dey were playing with at my birthday party last year... I hope i can find it in storage when i get back to Drum. I love you Chris... take care of us, like you always did. Hugs...

I am so grateful to him for the special care he took to look after his "girls" while defending our freedom. Chris is a hero to me, not only for his brave service in the Army but for the way he lived his life.
My heart breaks for you at your loss. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers, as well as those of my friends and family.

Please know that I am deeply sorry for the loss of Christopher Franklin Sitton.
As a parent, who has lost a daughter suddenly and as a sister, who has lost a brother to war...
I am aware of the deep and devastating pain that you are experiencing.
The overwhelming heartache, seems to surface through our shock, as the time passes.
Please hang on to your Faith and know that you will get through this.
Ever so softly and slowly,
time does heal.
May Christopher Rest Safely, in the Mighty Arms of God and know that he WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
I pray that God's Loving Comfort and Grace will be with you and your family.
I am the sister, of such a Young Hero, who made the Ultimate Sacrifice in Vietnam, many years ago.
Surely He hath borne our grief, and carried our sorrow.

Dearest Chris,
Words cannot explain the saddness I have felt since you left this earth on Aug 19th. I miss you so much. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. I've only known you for two years but you were like a brother to me. I will miss the pizza nights in the barracks and I will miss your smile. To your family, I loved Chris with all my heart and I just want to let you know that I keep you in my thoughts and prayers. It was an honor serving with you Chris and I will see you again one day in heaven.
