Obituary

Christian E. Bueno-Galdos never made a trip to the corner bodega without a group of neighborhood children tailing him, knowing he would buy them candy or a soda. It was the same in Iraq, where he was on his second tour. "We will never forget him," said his mother, Eugenia Galdos. "He was always a very good kid, and we love him a lot." Bueno-Galdos, 25, of Paterson, N.J., was one of five killed May 11 by an Army sergeant at a mental health clinic at Baghdad. He was assigned to Grafenwoehr, Germany. He was 7 when his family emigrated from Mollendo, Peru, for better economic opportunities. The youngest of four children, "Chinito," became a U.S. citizen in high school and joined the Army as soon as he graduated. Bueno-Galdos began a pre-university program with the intention to study medicine, said his father, Carlos Bueno. Then, suddenly, he switched gears and went into the military. He also is survived by his wife, Greisyn. "He was a great kid, very studious. Almost everything that he wanted he achieved," said Bueno.

Hello, I am the commander for 3-66 AR. I am looking for contact information for SSG Bueno-Galdos family. I can be reached at [email protected]. Thank you.

SSG Bueno brightened the room when he entered. He was truly a remarkable leader and person to consult with in or out of uniform. I served with this hard charging Non Comissioned Officer in Grafenwoehr Germany. You will be missed but never forgotten brother "HAMMER PRIDE" TF 3-66AR.

To the family and friends of Staff Sgt. Christian E. Bueno-Galdos:
It has truly been my honor to sign Christian's guest book these past few years. Unfortunately, due to complications from my Multiple Sclerosis, this may be the last message I'm able to write. Please forgive me and know that Christian will always be remembered in my home.
With love and respect ~ Peggy

Hello,
We would like to express our deepest condolences and also let the Bueno-Galdos 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...

Chris, I can't believe you are gone I remember the first time we met at fort drum. We had some great times shopping and just hanging out.. you were a great loving caring generous and also took the longest to get dressed when we went out :).. good times I miss and think of you almost everyday.. I LOVE YOU and I know you are in heaven looking down on the ones close to you... RIP brother..

SGT Bueno served with me in Iraq with the 10th Mountain Division. He represented the 4 Cs: Candor, Competance, Courage and Commitment. He was a true recon soldier, obviously raised by the best sort of family. May God bless his soul and provide comfort to his family.
