Christopher Thompson

As 9/11/23 comes to a close, I can say, as will many others, that your COURAGEOUS fight and death for this AMAZING country will NEVER BE IN VAIN! We WILL NEVER FORGET, Chris! GOD BLESS YOU & ALL THE OTHER SELFLESS MEN & WOMEN JUST LIKE YOU THAT SACRIFICED THEIR LIVES FOR US! We love you and may you always REST IN PEACE MY FRIEND!

I carry the memory of a fellow Navy man Christopher W Thompson and honor him by wearing a wrist band in his memory.

I am so lost without you. You were one person I could talk to about anything. I just wish you were here with me. I wish I could hug you one last time. I wish I could tell you how much I love you. I wish you could have met my children. I still remember like it was yesterday..hugging your neck and not wanting to let go. I still remember how you smelt. I still remember asking you "what if you don't come back to me?" and you replied "don't worry bug, they can't catch me...I'll run as fast as I...

12 years last month since we all lost him. I think of Chris always, sometimes with tears, but always with a smile. I met Chris shortly after his deployment in 2004. Even with all things he endured while overseas, he was always so positive. He was brave, humble, and had one of the kindest souls. Always a gentleman who loved his family, friends, and country. I miss his big smile and dimples on that handsome face. I was lucky to know him and be a part of his life. To know him was to love him....

It doesn't seem like 14 years have passed since you left us.I still think about you and remember the good kid you were. Now as my nephew Ryan serves as a Navy Corpsman and has been deployed for the last 9 months I still think of you and say thanks for being the type of guy they can look up to and say I hope I can be as brave as Chris was. Thank you for being there for all of us. We will never forget you ...

As your anniversary passed Chris, I realized me not having seen Wilkes in a year isn't bad; I'm stationed only 18 hours away. Semper Fi and Semper Fortis to a Shipmate who died for everything I serve for. Thank you, shipmate. Our Navy and our country have not and will not forget you.

There isn't a single day that goes by that something doesn't make me think of you! You will forever be missed!!!

I have not forgotten. Nor will I ever. Semper Fi.

Uncle Chris, you're on my mind today. I love and miss you so much. I wish we could've taken one last trip to Applebee's together before you left. I still remember what you were wearing and how you smelt when we said our last goodbyes. I'm going to have a son that's due in September and I promise to tell him about his amazing great uncle Chris. And what a great person you were and are. You aren't dead to me. You're still alive in my heart. I will see you one day. I love you!
