Christopher Dyer had an auspicious beginning to his diving career. On one of his first competitive dives in the ninth grade, he flattened out and hit the water in a belly flop. But he stuck with it and twice made it to the high school district championship. He even lost two front teeth on an inward dive attempt and had to wear two false teeth. "He thrived on challenges," his father, John Dyer. Dyer, 19, of Cincinnati, Ohio, was killed in an explosion Aug. 3 south of Haditha. His Marine reserve unit was based in Columbus, Ohio. Dyer graduated with honors from high school in 2004, where he also played the viola in the school orchestra. He had been accepted into Ohio State University and wanted to major in finance. His father said he joined the Marines because of his sense of duty and the challenge to be "one of the best." John Dyer said he and his wife, Kathy, saw a mature and proud son when they visited him during his pre-deployment leave in Las Vegas. "He said that he couldn't be happier with the way his life had worked out to this point," his father said.
