Just wanted to let you know of the death of an ATO. Captain Christopher Petty (US Army) was killed along with 4 other men on January 5 when a roadside bomb exploded near their humvee. Chris was stationed at Ft. Hood, TX and that's where I met him, his wife Deb, and his two small sons. Although I only met Chris a few times, he was very good friends with a good friend of mine (who is also stationed at Ft. Hood and also currently stationed in Iraq) and his wife, and I know that he was a great friend and that he will really be missed by the men that he served with and their families.
I was searching online for stories about him and stumbled across a news story that said he was an ATO from the chapter at Marshall. Just thought you might like to know.
Here is the story:
