Fallen Patriot Commemoration
This U.S. Flag site and Flag Steward experience is dedicated to this inspirational Patriot:

U.S. Army Corporal
​Christopher D. Rose of San Francisco, CA

Corporal Rose, 21, served as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF)
with 1st Battalion, 67th Armored Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, based in Fort Hood, Texas
Killed June 29, 2006 of injuries from an IED (Improvised Explosive Device) while fighting in Baghdad, Iraq
2004 Graduate of Voice of Pentecost Academy (HS)
Posthumously decorated with Bronze Star Medal and Purple Heart
Survived by his mother, father, and 2 sisters
We honor and thank U.S. Army Corporal Chris Rose for defending our freedoms and fighting to liberate the lives of others.
[ Note: CPL Rose was the first resident of San Francisco KIA in the Global War on Terror ]
​
Inspirational Quote about Chris:
​... from his childhood buddy, Steve Rodriguez ...
"Chris was definately the most caring out of my group of close guy friends. He was open about his emotions and genuinely cared about how his friends were feeling or doing. Its so hard to find friendship like that now a days but I had that with him."

We honor and thank U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Ed Sweeney Jr. for defending our freedoms and fighting to liberate the lives of others.

​Ed Sweeney Jr. inspires us with his leadership - how he looked out for the welfare of his men:
Chief Warrant Officer Frank Glenn, a fellow Vietnam War scout helicopter pilot of Platoon Leader Ed Sweeney, repeated Captain Sweeney's directive to his 9 scout pilots, "Don't be a cowboy, don't take any unnecessary risks, no hot-dogging, and don't get your crew killed.  Your job is to return to base everyday."
