Chris was nominated by Hannah Welling :
It’s hard to find the right words to explain what Chris means to me and what kind of a man he is. After knowing him most of my life, I’m amazed to find that he still surprises me with his kindness, dedication, loyalty, and even his sense of humor. I like to say he fixes things for a living. He will also fix your truck, your roof, your couch, you name it… I bet he’ll even fix your toilet if you buy him a six pack. He goes above and beyond to help others when he simply doesn’t have to, regardless of the circumstances. His dedication and knowledge has earned him respect in the work place and on deployments. His love and loyalty keeps our family strong. He is a hero.
