PINEHURST, NC (WTVD) -- The widow of Army Specialist Chris Harris and their newborn daughter scheduled a special photo shoot with the men and women her husband bravely fought alongside in Afghanistan. Specialist Harris died in August of 2017 while serving our country, just days after learning he would be a dad.

Chris' unit gathered to commemorate the birth of Christian Michelle Harris, born on March 17th. "Knowing that we could come home to a baby girl, that was awesome," said Sgt. Nathan Arthur Bagley.

"When everyone came home, that was the day she was born so that made it ten times better.""It's refreshing to see those blue eyes again," Britt Harris said of her daughter.

"When she was born, it was like I was looking at my own son," said Sue Kolean, Chris's mother.

Specialist Harris was a paratrooper, 2nd infantry battalion, according to a quick google search.

There are two very out-of-shape women in the pictures at the link. Are they infantry? Are fat women becoming paratroopers these days?

I don’t see any women at all in the posted link except for the widow, and she is quite attractive.

Actually think it’s just one. The picture where the widow is wearing a red dress, look 2nd to her right. In the last photo, it’s the same person holding the baby. Look at the necktie, it’s the little two-ended bola, different than the ties of everyone else. Also the article specifies “men and women.”

OK, you got better eyes than me.
