Oct 20, 2007 Hi, I am not sure who is running this site but I want to send my deepest sympathies to you and your family. My husband was in Alpha Company with Chris and he came over to our apartment a few times to hang out and bbq. He was so funny as I loved his accent. I wish I could say I didnt know how you were feeling and what you were going through but unfortunately my husband was killed in Action in Iraq on September 24th just 4 weeks before all our boys in 1-505 were due home. I will be praying for you and your family and I am hoping the pain is getting easier to handle. - God Bless.

This is the - Unauthorized - video to the song "Chris Mason (Here on this Battlefield)". Thank you "Joe Monto" for putting the words, my son Chris carried in his soul and heart, into a message.
THESE ARE THE LAST HOURS OF MY SON CHRIS (ED) MASON'S LIFE - HE WAS KILLED IN "THE WAR ON TERRORISM" BY AL-QAEDA TERRORIST FORCES IN THE SMALL TOWN OF SINIYAH, IRAQ
Chris lost his life when his patrol was ambushed by Al-Qaeda Terrorist. They were moving into position to provide fire support for his fellow paratroopers. They had come under small arms fire from Al-Qaeda forces and could not disengage. He died soon after being hit by an IED, but DOD has him being killed by small arms fire during the firefight.
Bottom line is he was doing what needed to be done for his country.
The President of the United States, George W. Bush, authorized on Feb 1, 2007, in a hand written letter, that the following quote be placed on Chris's headstone....
"We Will Not Tire, We Will Not Falter, And We Will Not Fail".
There are few men who will pick up a weapon and fight for this country, and my son was one of the few. He died on the battlefield standing toe to toe with Al-Qaeda, not backing up or looking for a place to hide, he was moving foreward into the fight.
Strength and Honor son, I stand proud for you, Airborne!
NOTE: The Faith Academy 2007 Yearbook Dedicated to Cpl Christopher Edward Mason. I cannot say thank you enough to the Faith Academy Class of 2007. This touches our hearts more then any other honor that has been bestowed upon our son, Chris, since his death. Thank you all, Susie & Garland Mason
