This is Chris's sister and thank you for looking out for Chris and the Special Forces ring. My sister in law still has it in the bag with all the things that came home that were on his body. She checked this morning and the ring is still in the bag with the rest of the stuff. Must be a fluke. Thank you for caring enough to reach out. I almost had a panick attack at the thought of it being gone.

May 28, 2013

I saw an SF ring signed “SSG Chris Robinson” in a pawn shop in Cadiz, TN. Was wondering if you had one stolen? Just looking out.

To fallen soldiers let us sing,
Where no rockets fly nor bullets wing,
Our broken brothers let us bring
To the Mansions of the Lord

No more weeping,
No more fight,
No friends bleeding through the night,
Just Devine embrace,
Eternal light,
In the Mansions of the Lord

Where no mothers cry
And no children weep,
We shall stand and guard
Though the angels sleep,
Oh, through the ages let us keep
The Mansions of the Lord

Chris,
Not a day goes by I don't think about you over here in Afghanistan now and the memory of that day which the men of our detachment and myself felt so much pain. We had 23 young soldiers whose lives changed that day and two officers who will always remember you as the most professional NCO we could be privileged to have worked with. Your name is reflected on a bracelet I wear to tell the story of so many friends I've lost. Peace be with you and know you are always remembered!

I remember the day we met. I came to the unit for deployment. I was working in the motor pool when you came to get a 5 ton. You were the first team member that spoke to me. After that I realized that all team guys would accept you once you proved yourelf to them. You told to stand up to the hazing they do because they like you. The morning we were informed of your passing. I cried for hours. We all did. You were a hero to all of us. I know you looked out for us on our convoys. I did not worry because you were there in spirit. Thank you for all you did for me and our Great Country. Thank you once again. I think of you every day. God Bless your family and friends.

March 27, 2010

Hey Bud, Another year has passed, and we miss you so much. You son, Patrick will start to school in the fall. I remember when he was born, it snowed so much and you and Tamara were standing outside laughing. As the large flakes fell, your "Comment everything is going to be alright, just like mana from heaven." Tamara looks so beautiful, she is happy like you wanted. Your little Savannah misses you and she is going to be a beautiful blue eyed young lady, of course you made that happen. Yep, she has those pretty legs like her mom.

March 27, 2010

Hey "El Guapo" Your smiling face was on I-55 for everyone to see as if we would every forget you anyway. Your Mom did this on 3/34 & 3/25. It was beautiful! Have you hugged Big Daddy yet?

It is hard to believe it has been three years....time goes by so fast....but your always in our hearts and on our minds. I am doing good...for the most part...but I do have very emotional days sometimes. Just yesterday I was talking to Kimberly about pictures of me and the kids that I sent you and you never got them and I couldn't even talk to her without crying. Well since reading Kellen's message I just can't stop crying. I don't know what is wrong with me today......
You would have such a good time watching Patrick and Savannah play soccer. Patrick is goofy....but he does score some goals and Savannah is awesome...and scores goals too. I know you would be so proud of them. They miss you and talk about daddy Chris all the time. I try to fill them with such wonderful memories of you. You would be proud of Reese, he is a great daddy to them too.
Watch over all your guys in the 2/20th as they will be heading back to Afghanistan around July.

Kellen

April 2, 2009

Hey Man.
I just wanted to say hello and tell you Tamara is doing well and the kids too. Little Kellen, Patrick and Savannah are just finishing soccer. It's funny Kellen and Patrick fight just like brothers. I can't believe it has been three years. We all miss you and are proud of you as well. Take care up there Bro and remember we'll be there too someday.

March 26, 2009

Chris, We will never forget you son. Your Dad seems so sad about your leaving us. I know you were where you wanted to be and we are proud of you as always. Love Mom and Dad.

Dear Chris,
It's hard to believe it's been a little over 2 years since your death....you are truely an Amercian Hero..ever since I met you and we started dating so long ago, you always said to me....If I die in the line of duty, don't be sad for me bud, be proud of me, because I died fighting for our country.... over the years we kept in touch, you would still say that to me....I am proud of you Chris...I always will be. My children know who you are, and they pray for you every nite because you are with their "Grandy" (my mom)....
Your parents and sister mean so much to me, I want to thank you for that....If it werent for us meeting at The Lighthouse restaurant so long ago, I would have never met them and they wouldn't be so close to my heart today....20 years later...so I thank you Chris, for coming into my life so long ago and bringing me to your sister....I love her so much and I thank you for bringing us together...Your parents are my "2nd set"....Ive said that for 20 years...they are truely an amazing couple.....
I will always remember you, our laughter, our silliness, and most of all, remaining good friends for so long.
Your Bud,
Kim

Hello to Chris' family and friends, I have read this guest book often since we lost Chris and have pondered for the past two years over what it is that I can write that is worthy enough to be displayed publicly. Well I finally figured it out. I continue to hear stories from people (close relatives and even just random people) who were touched and inspired through their acquaintenance with Chris. Well that happened to me too and it still does now through memories and stories told by all of you. I hope that I can follow his example and wake up every morning with a positive attitude, the desire to achieve great things, but most important to put my entire being into making life's everyday, mundane, and routine experiences a joyful occasion for me and others around me. Also I know that this can only be achieved through a mature spiritual relationship with God and that is how and why Chris was the sort of person that inspired us so. The glory belongs to and thanks be to God for using Chris as his vessel to touch our lives. Chris, we know you are in his presence and we'll join you someday. For now, we love and miss you very much.

Great man, Great American, Great Warrior. I never had to honor of meeting Chris but worked with alot of his compadres there for a few months right after his untimely loss. He will never be forgotten. Slim and Flibert refered to him as a one of a kind human being. I wear a bracelet that memoralizes him everyday. God Bless his family and 2/20th SFG (A).

Hey Bud its your Mom!. Yesterday was your and many more soldiers day. When I saw your name on the monument in Brandon, I wondered how did he get here. I went to Memorial Day with Savanah and Tamara, Savannah is so much like you, its hurts to look at her. She has her front teeth in and they look just like yours. She went to a spend the night at an over night camp for two nights. Can you beleive your baby girl is so big? Patrick is so cute and he talks alot and can tell you so many funny things. Dad didn't want to go to cemetary, he says he is coming to visit you soon, if he beats me there you have fun and take care of him. I can hear him say, "Hey,Bud!" Life is so cruel sometimes, and I feel so numb, but I will make it. Tamara is sad, but must days she and Reese are happy and having a good time. We want her to very happy and do fun things. She is a very good Mom and I think Reese will be be a good dad. We willl make it, even though there are many hard days. Love Your Mom

April 11, 2008

Hey Bro, you were truly blessed with a wonderful family. The anniversary of your death is a heavy load to handle. Not a day goes by and that you don't cross my mind and the mind of everyone that was close to you, I'm sure. I'm glad for you that Tamara is closer to you and can visit you more often. You are well remembered and never forgotten. There is always something new and left for you at your gravesite whenever I visit.

Well, Savannah turned seven in Feb. and Patrick will be three in two days. I am so sad that you cannot share in your children's lives. Savannah misses you so much and has stressed herself out so much she is having sever stomach aches. I feel so bad for her having to go through the pain of losing her dad. She made a very sweet memory book in her counseling at school. My office has moved to Madison across from the cemetary so I visit and think about you often. Your family and friends still have you in our hearts - Always and forever.

Hello my grandson. How we miss you. Well Thanksgiving is over and I thank GOD that we had you for such a short while. I was thinking last week about the Christmas we had the gathering at our house and not realizing that in four months you would not be with us on this earth. It is so hard to understand why. Why are such wonderful love ones are taken away. A lot of things have transpired since you left and I am sure that you may be aware of. I know things do not hurt in Heaven as I understand the Bible; but, it sure hurts on earth. Daniel and Landis are doing well in the military following in your foot steps. Sometimes I wish they were not. We love you son and miss you so dreadfully. All my love to you. Your MeeMaw Ola

Definition of a Soldier.

A Soldier is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

Chris was a true Soldier and we all are still hurting from losing him.

August 17, 2007

Hello, Its Mom I read today a new entry to you. Such great things about you, all so true. Most days I can make it. Today I feel very sad for you being gone. I always think of you ever day. First thing when I wake I try so hard to be strong and I Know you are in heaven, but I wonder where you are and what could you be doing. Do you really see that Stacy Coleman is there with you, if so can you beleive it. Tamara is getting married to Reese, can you beleive that. I am o.k. with it. Its so hard to look at Savannah and Patrick and know they will never really get to know that real special dad you were. Savannah remenbers you so very well, I hope she grows up and always remember what a special dad you were. Sometimes its so hard to be around them, because I just want to cry for you, but I know thats not healthy. They really enjoy the pool, its up on that hill looking down in the back yard. I know how much you loved sitting in that back yard and reading your books. I will never forget the last day we saw you and I jokinly mentioned you and Tamara must have been rolling in the yard and you commented " Just a little picnic in the back yard for Tamara and the babies before I leave tomorrow" These are things I know they will remember. I love you and I hope you are looking over my shoudler, saying my silly mom. Love Mom

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!!

Savannah and Patrick love and miss you and wish you were here to share things in their life. It is still so hard to believe you are not with us anymore.....I don't think anyone will fully get over losing you. You will always be with us...

Chris,
I miss hearing you say "hello my friend" in that silly little voice. I hear it now and again from Pazzaglia or Sean and it literally takes me back in time to where I have to sort past from present for a split second. That split second is a wonderful place to be. Thanks for being all that you are. I hope you are waiting there to greet us all when its our turn to cross the bridge.

Hey My Brother Guapo,
There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you. I miss your humor, wit, experience, input and friendship. Especially, getting together and telling stories and laughing over lunch or at our homes. You will never be forgotten and I thank you for your service to our country. Miss you my friend and brother in arms.

CHRIS... The sun was always shining in your world. Never a frown on your face and you always put smiles on others faces. You spoke softly but carried a big stick. You were completely respected & admired among all your peers. Always did 100% of the work then when he was done he looked around to see who needed help. I know that you left an unforgettable positive impression on every one who knew you. Love ya brother, SEV

Hey, Cuz,
I went to another memorial today in your honor. This one was at Camp Shelby at the Museum. I was so intriqued with the museum displays of the battles fought by guys like you that I lost track of time and missed the beginning of your memorial. Such a dork!
I was able to slip out into the open area where the ceremony was going on. I figured that you would have gotten a kick out of the space cadet getting lost in the world of a military museum. Only me, aye!
Awwww, nuts! I miss you.
Watch over us from up there! I know you will!

Please know how Deeply Sorry I was to learn of the loss of Sgt. 1st Class Christopher Robinson, one year ago.

The price this Brave Young Soldier and his family have paid for this country and for freedom, Will Never Be Forgotten.
There will Never be Enough Ways to Humbly Thank these Heroes for their Supreme Sacrifice, my brother among them. KIA~Vietnam, 1967.

Treasure this hero Lord, in Your Garden of Rest,
for while here on earth, he was one of our best.

May you find strength in your faith, comfort in God's love, and peace in knowing this country remembers Christopher's sacrifice.
Softly and slowly, time heals...
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Chris,
What an honor it has been to have walked the same path together. It was my distinct privilege to have been Eagle Scout and Sr. Patrol Leader Chris Robinson's Scoutmaster in Madison MS.
Chris established the height of expectations for all of the other Scouts as an elite Scout example.
If anything needed to get done, Chris would do it. If the boys got out of line, Chris would put them back in line.
It was a joy to have Chris and his father George around the camp fire with us telling stories.
When I heard the unforgetable news from Jim Fairchild (another Eagle Scout)over the phone about Chris, I bowed my head in my office and sobbed as if I had lost my own son. Jim sat silently on the other end of the phone. He waited and said nothing until I was ready to speak to him. Jim, like all of the other Scouts looked up to Chris.
Chris established himself as a leader as a teenager. Few can say that. He lead without knowing he was a leader. It came naturally.
As I read articles about Chris I smiled about his "missing a backpack because of the monkeys stealing it" story. Atta BOY!! over time, I eventually was able to laugh and shake my head. Once again I could picture that young man's eyes just a dancin as he was relating a story of one kind or another. Thank you so much Chris for your unselfish service to our nation. Our nation is better because of soldiers such as yourself.
I am so glad your Dad drove up in his pick up truck one evening before a Boy Scout meeting and said, "This is my son Christopher and he would like to transfer into your Troop."
Chris, I am so proud to learn that you grew up strong. Became a husband, a father, and most importantly, you knew the Lord.
Chris, I lost my Dad two months before you entered heaven yourself, Dad served 599 consecutive days on the front line in the European Anzio Invasion of WWII. If you wouldn't mind, go over and share a story or two with Sgt Ernest E Brown 15th Field Artillary Observation Batallion. He like myself, will enjoy having met you. Personally speaking, I will see you again!
Chris, I am so very proud of you. I salute you Sir!!

In His Increase,
Danny Brown
Scout Master (Madison MS)

Christopher Lee, I am in the process of moving to Hattiesburg, your old stomping ground! I feel closer to you there than ever before. When I am on campus at USM, driving through town past the Boy Scouts of America, or just driving around that neck of the woods I think of you! I remember how your Papaw cried when he reminisced about the fun he had when you, a young adult attending Southern, lived with him out on the lake in Hattiesburg. He talked about how you all would scare the girls who came over to Barbecue with your pet spider! I will one day drive past your old house on Mesa Drive in Hattiesburg and will someday look up Dusty Brewer to see how he is doing. I love you so much and will keep you alive in my heart and in my memories. Now, let's sing......"Jeremiah was a bullfrog, dah dah dah, was a good friend of mine, dah dah, I never understood a single word he said but I helped him drink his wine! Oh, he always had some mighty fine wine. Joy to the world! All the boys and girls now! Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea! Joy to you and me!, Dah dah dah!!!!!.......

Dear Family of Chris Robinson (AKA: "El Guapo"),



Tamara, "There is no greater love, than a man who would lay down his life for his brother". We were "there" and we will "NEVER FORGET". It is forever ethched into our memories.



SFC "Chris" Robinson (through a hail of gunfire), gave his life to protect what we all believe in. "Life, liberty and justice for all"! He placed all of us above himself. Because of this (and other things), I am honored. Honored to have truly known Chris for years. To have shared stories about our family, children and friends. To have laughed with him and greeted each day with a hot cup of coffee and a smile. He fought to protect our Christian way of life. He is seeing the Glory of God, because of his beliefs.



I want you all to know...That Chris will "always" be remember. Because, I can "never" forget!



Sincerely,

Tamara Robinson
