Army Specialist Christopher Moon of Tucson memorial.
Today Specialist Christopher Moon arrived home to Tucson for the last time. He died from injuries he sustained from a road side bomb while serving in Afghanistan.
I want to paint a picture. I am not a very eloquent man so bare with me.
Today Specialist Moon arrived at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. As a show so support for the family and to pay our final respects we were asked to line the main street leading in and out of the base. When I arrived and took position I was close to the air field, the main gate to the base is about 1.5 miles away. There were Airmen, Sailors, Soldiers and Mariens lining both sides of the street from the terminal to the gate....not one gap...shoulder to shoulder. I would estimate close to 2500 people or more. The procession was lead by the Arizona Rangers and the Patriot Guard. The Patriot Guard arrived in force today...I lost count at 120 riders...all there to support this family. We stood in the sun for over an hour, not one around me person complained...and as the procession passed we all saluted as they passed...
It was a humbling experience
