In Honor of the fallen:

There are soldiers in many places

For some, we're allowed to see their faces

For others, are required to stay hidden

and do the orders that they are bidden.

If a known, brave soul's life comes to pass

we're told who he is and that he's home at last

If a hidden one dies while he's doing the plan

he's known only to his family and not the average man.

He's on a covert mission, so we are told

He died a soldier's way, and his life was bold

He's a hero to us, in each and every way,

because he died protecting the U.S. of A.

This is the e-mail sent out by the President of Moravian College, of which this brave soldier was a 1997 graduate:

Our College family has been shaken by the news that Captain Christopher Seifert, a graduate of the Class of 1997, was killed during Operation Iraqi Freedom this weekend. A member of the 101st Airborne Division, Chris lost his life in the widely reported grenade attack at Camp
Pennsylvania in Kuwait. He was 27.

Our hearts, comforting wishes, and prayers go out to members of Chris's family. He is survived by his wife, Terri Flowers-Seifert, also a member of the Class of 1997; and a four-month-old son, Benjamin.

Chris was a vital presence among the students, faculty and staff who lived and learned with him at Moravian. His Delta Tau Delta brothers remember him as a founding member of the fraternity at Moravian. Bernie Story advises that he was one of Admissions' very best student ambassadors; Jack Ramsey recalls Chris's fine work as a lighting guide
for theater productions; and Ann Claussen remembers seeing Chris court Terri in the HUB. His classmates and fellow alumni no doubt hold a far greater treasure of shared experiences and memories - together, those memories define the enormity of our loss.


Memorial services have not yet been scheduled. However, his family has requested that in lieu of flowers, a donation be sent to the Big Brothers and Big Sisters of the Lehigh Valley.

We are proud to count Chris Seifert among Moravian's alumni, we are grateful for his service, and we are humbled by his sacrifice. We will miss him.

He's not gone, only reassigned to the legions of heaven, and will return on that fateful day that Christ leads them back to destroy islam once and for all.

God bless you and take you directly into His arms, Christopher. An early retirement to the eternal kingdom for you.
