Houma, Louisiana
When he left for war, Christopher Babin assured his mother he would see her again. "He said, 'Mom and Dad, I will be back. I don't know in what condition, but I will be back,' Charlotte Babin said. Babin, 27, of Houma, La., was among the soldiers who died Jan. 6 when a roadside bomb exploded in Baghdad. He was based in Lafayette, La. He is survived by his wife, Lydia, and a 9-month-old son, Mikhael. The couple's second wedding anniversary would have been in March. In civilian life, Babin drove a cement truck. He joined the National Guard when he was 17, a few months before his high school graduation. "He wanted to be everybody's hero," his mother said. "God gave him to me for 27 years. He couldn't have given me a better son."
It's been a long long time, still think about yall daily. Especially Babin, our Recon Super Soldier lol 1 of my big brothers in life and the Unit, I got your Guardian bell still hanging in my truck. Miss ya my brother, till we meet again

Chris you was a true friend I often think of our laughs and good times. On this day I salute you and others for your service. I never would’ve thought you’d be gone all these years and it still weighs heavy on my heart bro.

To the family and friends of Sgt. Christopher J. Babin:
It has truly been my honor to sign Christopher'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 Christopher will always be remembered in my home.
With love and respect ~ Peggy
