...was a combat medic in the US Army, he completed 2 deployments with the same unit and friends, and one day he went out on patrol with his best buddy. About halfway through the patrol, they were in 2 columns on either side of a road when out of nowhere his friend steps on a landmine. The concussion from the explosion blows the patrol in all directions and puts Chris on his back, with the ringing in his ears, the hurt from being blown onto his back he tries to render assistance to his friend, but to no avail, his friend was bleeding all over Chris, there was no way for him to save his life. As a medic has couldn’t help his friend…. Chris wore the boots that he was wearing to the photo session were the same boots that he wore that faithful day. After about three months after the session I worked up the courage to ask him what he did with the uniform he was wearing that day, he told me the he put it into a safety deposit box in New York…..
