Missing and thinking of you bro. Today is Traditional Memorial Day, but it is NOT the only day that you are being remembered. You will never be forgotten. Love and miss you bro, I'm reminiscing about the old days that we had together. I would not trade those memories for anything.

I cherish so many memories with you Andrew. I'm missing you more than usual this Christmas. I remember us playing Ultima I on floppy disks lol. Making our own trails in the mountains and exploring nature. Derek would always bring home the best new alternative music. Josh playing with us all the time too. I miss Bob Baker also (RIP) who would be the DM with such a creative mind. I miss those days a lot. And still to this day, the courage from you that I learned keeps on pushing me back up when I let myself get down. You will never be forgotten and continue to be an inspiration. Merry Christmas old friend.

CPL Andrew Chris,
I followed your footsteps during my deployment to Iraq in 2009. I saw your picture on the wall there, but I didn't know you. However, there is no doubt in my mind that the safe return home of my entire company was ensured in part by the ultimate sacrifice that you and others made to secure that place before us. For that I am forever grateful to you. Last weekend I was reminded of your sacrifice by one of your comrades. I hope your family finds solace in knowing that your memory is preserved by your ranger buddies, who still tell stories about you to this day. You are remembered with both reverence and fondness. RLTW.
We are all holding our sweet Andrew in our hearts as we spend this wonderful family time together in beautiful Manassas.

Hey my Sweetheart. Know it's been awhile. Our birthdays were particularly difficult days so I didn't write but got to now.
Today there was a Vet Day breakfast at Dow St. Charles. It was a really great event for the veteran employees. I was however greatly disappointed that you and others who gave the ultimate sacrifice, not to mention us survivors, were not recognized.
I miss you so much my Baby. You know we all do. NEVER should our Rangers in the Sky be overlooked as well as all our loved ones that have given their lives for those they protect. So here is my energy delivered up to you my Sweet and your band of Guardians. Thank you my Andrew and all your brothers and sisters.
Please accept my love and appreciation for your constant protection. I know you are there and always will be.
I love you so much Andrew and you are constantly a life force. I think you have accomplished exactly what you intended just perhaps in a way that may not be recognized by all.
I love you now and for eternity. Looking so forward to telling you how much I love you when I get to hug you again.
My Son, My Guardian Angel, My Ranger in the Sky. I love you Andrew.

I did not know Andrew at all really, but I'm going through the same training as he went through in 2001, and he is truly, even far in death, an inspiration for us all. I send my condolences to your son ma'am, and i hope you have comfort knowing part of him will always exists on the ground with us, changing lives for the better.

Hey Sweetheart! Happy 37th Birthday! I sure miss you Baby. How I remember when you were born and got your middle name "Forest" cause you had little pointy ears like a wood nymph. :) Sure would like to see those pointy ears again even though they rounded out as you grew. Wish I could've said I love you just one more time but I know you know.
Missing you and Loving You Forever.

Finally I am able to say HEY BB! Have been having a little technical challenges with my hardware. But I know you know that not a nano-second goes by that you are not in my mind, heart and soul.
Andrew you would not believe how many lives you've touched, continue to touch and how many wonderful people have reached out to me - to our family.
I feel your presence constantly. See you in Nature, the birds that fly by, the butterflies that linger, the wonderful thunderstorms, all things that let me know you are here.
Thank you for being my son.
I love you always and forever.

Dear Chris Family and Friends,
While I never had the honor of meeting Andrew, his loyalty, charisma, and the profound impact he left on the lives of those who knew and loved him is evident in all the messages and memories I've read on this page. His service to our country and ultimate sacrifice will never be taken for granted and I'm grateful to him for that.
I send my thoughts and prayers your way, today and every day that his memory finds you needing comfort and peace.

Hi Andrew,
I was thinking about you today and decided to finally write you a note. I vaguely recall seeing you when you graduated from Ranger School, but I remember better the night that you were cleaning the RTB Headquarters while I was on staff duty. We were able to talk quite a bit that night. I had a great experience in Basic/AIT, Airborne and waiting for RIP to start and you were a big part of that.
Rest in peace brother and I'll see you on the other side.

I'm taking good care of Henry.

Hello my Baby! We had a good weekend in Huntsville. Tidied up and decorated you and your Dad's special place at Maple Hill. Then we all had our annual beer with you. It was PBR this year. : o ) Good and cold. But you were there with us smiling your sweet smile. We miss you so much Andrew. Whether you've been gone 9 hours or 9 years. It will never change. Sometimes I feel that I can reach out and touch you, hug you and tell you how much I love you. Summer's friend said he saw you one night standing in front of the fireplace. That made me feel very good. You know I always want my babies close as they can be! I love you Andrew. How I wish there was no war.

Hey my Sweeheart. Missing you always. Just doesn't seem to get better Andrew and then when all these trivial life things nip at my heels I sometimes feel too broken to get up and keep trudging along. Your little brother Jamil has memorialized you on himself. Something he has wanted to do for a long time. He really misses you too Sweetheart. It hurts him to talk about it because losing you is just about more than we can take. I miss you so much my Baby. Stay close to me Andrew. Help me to be strong and get through these troubling times. I love you so much and I always will my Brave Ranger.

Christmas is missing our Chris. Nothing to do or say that fills the void where you, Andrew, filled our completeness. How I loved to have all my peeps together. What a hugh gap there is without you. So many for you to love, many that cannot see you or feel your presence because they did not know you before you had to go. They will know you though my Darling. Although it hurts to remember you are not physically with us you are alway alive and present. Our special Ranger and Guardian Angel. I miss you my Sweetheart every waking moment and love it when you visit my dreams, sometimes as my baby or my little boy or my grown man. Stay with us always Andrew. We all need you and want you here with us so you can feel our never ending love.

Every day I light a candle thats burns thru the day in memory of Myles. He teased me for my love of candles all the time. Today I light two candles in memory of two young warriors and imagine how beautiful they appear in the Heavens with there swords and shields and breasted armor ready to go back to war should satan feel foolish as to threaten the Gates of Heaven. A sight to behold and behold I will one day.

I met your brother at your memorial on Mt. Soledad. Good guy, he turned out pretty good, good guy go figure. I can't find the words to say so I'll go You are my hero, think about all the time. You are one of the ghosts I visit in Snowflake AZ. We have a good time, we listen to each other's lies, swap stories. I hear your voice in the wind and your mile in the campfire, and your wisdom in the sunset.
Many a day seeing what was over that hill and around the bend. Remember when Brett slid down the canyon and got stuck with all that cactus? We had the sense not to go that way,but we wound up going that way to rescue our little knucklehead. Say Hi to my Mom and see you in a while.

Hello My Darling! I am late for Memorial Day but I spent most of the day in your Memorial Garden. It makes me feel so good to make it beautiful. It brings me comfort because it is the closest thing I have to taking care of you. So many sad stories Andrew about soldiers dying, coming home missing limbs, having terrible head injuries and some that take their own lives. I wish this would end and no more Moms would have to suffer with broken hearts for the rest of their lives. I love you so much Andrew. Never a moment when you aren't in my heart, mind and soul. I feel your presence and I want to hug you and hold you so bad. Stay close my Son.
I love you Brave Heart.

I recieved your KIA bracelet in 2005. I have worn it on my wrist since the day I got it, and I have not removed it since. It reminds me to remember those who have died and those still serving. It is special to me because it was a gift from a close friend who was also KIA in 2007. I wear yours and his now together! This is for your family! I want them to know that you are remembered and thought of even by a complete stranger! Thank you for serving and dying for what you believed in fighting for!

Hello my Darling! Happy Day after Veteran's Day. I wore your picture button over my heart yesterday. It was a hard day Andrew. Each day is hard living without your smiling face but yesterday was especially hard. I know you were doing what gave you satisfaction and I thank you for your sacrifice but I sure wish you were here to talk to, laugh with, give presents to, etc. I guess I do those things just in a different way but I am still so very, very sad that I can't hold you, hug you, tell you that I love you. I don't know why I keep putting these entries in your Guest Book. I guess it is somehow healing for me to write to you. I love you so much my Son and I miss you terribly.
September 25, 2010
Happy Birthday my Baby. I sure miss you Andrew. You are always on my mind. I so wish I could hug you and hold you. Thirty-Three years ago I got a little bundle of boy with little pointy ears. He looked a bit like a wood elf and so his middle name became Forest - with 1 "r". Now he is a hero. I know that you were doing exactly what you wanted to be doing when you left this life and I try to console myself with that knowledge. It just doesn't seem to help that much though. I missed the opportunity to see you one last time and that weighs very heavy on my heart. I sure hope your sacrifice was for the greater good. All I know is that I love you and I want you back.
Happy 33 my Son.

Hello my Darling!!! Well here begins another death week Andrew. Every year on the day we found out about your death through the day we celebrated your life the memories of that week are replayed vividly. I remember so much and yet so little about the absolute worst week of my life. What was left was a broken heart and a part of me that died with you. I miss you so much Andrew. I feel your presence but I can't touch or hug you and my heart breaks all over again. We are all getting together during this week like we have been doing since June 26, 2003 when we got the news. We will enjoy being together and you will be with us. I love you so much my brave, brave Son. I hope somehow that you can see these words and read my heart. I love you Andrew.

To the Chris Family,
I found a silver bracelet-cuff with the name Andrew Chris on it. My children found it on base (we are an Army family, too!) and I thought that your family would like to have it. Is there an address where I can send it? My name is April Styer, proud wife of SSG Rodney Styer...we were at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas (which is where my kids found this..) but we are stationed now at a Navy base after my hubby returned from Iraq. You can email me an address there so it is maybe more private. I hope this gets to the right hands..God bless you all and thank you for supporting our soldiers and our country! ~April C.
