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."

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."
