The above video 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.

PRCA COWBOY / US PARATROOPER CHRIS (ED) MASON WAS KILLED IN ACTION BY AL-QAEDA TERRORIST FORCES IN THE SMALL TOWN OF SINIYAH, IRAQ (near FOB Summerall)... THE ABOVE VIDEO IS THAT STORY.

Two blocks from the linkup point Mason' Humvee came under attack from both sides of the road. Mason' gunner was engaging the enemy with his 50. Mason was attempting to maneuver his Humvee so he and his gunner could break out. Without warning there was a sudden shock wave, blast of heat, and flames bluring our line of vision. We became confused, and unsure of what was taking place. As we regained our line of site we realized we had not only driven into a terrorist ambush, but Mason had been hit by an extremely powerful IED. It was all going down in front of us, and Mason' Humvee was the target. After the blast his Humvee lay upside down in the street. We attempted to get to Mason, but enemy continued to fire at the Humvee. The fire from the explosion swallowed Mason' Humvee, and rounds were cooking off in every direction. We fired back with our 50s until the enemy with drew. Still we were unable to save Mason. It is safe to say he died instantly from the blast of the IED. DOD list Cpl Mason as being killed by small arms fire, but we were there, and on the ground..
