Major Christopher Galloway Dead at [FReeper M1Tanker, RIP]
Flopping Aces ^ | 8/16/09 | OhioSA

Posted on 08/16/2009 10:33:19 AM PDT by OhioSA

"On June 30th Major Chris Galloway took his own life. He had come back from Afghanistan in April, and things just weren’t the same we’re told."

"Why’d we lose him? Who the hell knows. There is no rational reason for doing such a thing, so using reason to figure it out is both impossible and ineffectual. It accomplishes nothing. In the end, he’s still gone. For the sake of his wife, his kids, and for ourselves it’s better to remember him for who he was. Given that he was so much to so many, there’s a lot to think about. He was a husband, father, soldier, a writer for Flopping Aces, and I consider him my friend. We all consider him our friend. May God bless him and give him peace. He’s earned it."

Prayers for the family he left behind, especially for his children who will feel this loss for the rest of their lives. My heart aches for them.

” He Served as Troop Commander under D Troop, 1st Squadron, 16th Cavarly regiment in FT. Knox KY.” - From the FA post

This was the unit I trained in during basic. He was too young to be part of the unit then (I was there in 1984), but it is nice to know he did the unit proud.

Thank you for the post and ping.

I’m so sorry to hear this. He was a good man.

I feel so badly for his family, and will keep them in my prayers.
