We honor and thank U.S. Army Special Forces Staff Sergeant Chris Falkel for defending our freedoms and fighting to liberate the lives of others.

​Chris inspires us with this recollection from his childhood buddy and neighbor, Matthew Sahagun:

"Chris was a warrior," Sahagun said. "Since an early age he always had it in him. He was brave beyond belief and always by your side if you needed him."
