Words alone could not express my excitement to see Chris among us again! It was as if he had never gone MIA. It was a blast hanging out with you again my friend, and I look forward to seeing you on the forums again soon!

Now everyone stand at attention and salute those colors that make us all proud!



Ooo RAH!!!

It seems a little strange that I cannot seem to find any photos taken with Chris and myself... but then again, we all know that Michelle was more of a treat for the eyes in her Vasquez loadout. So here's a photo I like to call "Double Trouble"...

Chris,

You were extremely cool and personable to me right off the bat when I met you all at DragonCon.

You went out of your way to make me feel welcome, answer all of my questions, and welcome me openly when I walked downstairs in the USCM armor.

You were one of the people I was looking for when I signed up here. So far I've managed to make contact in some way or another with all the Marines I met.... sadly... you weren't around.

So, though I'm new, and though people are still getting to know me... I say "welcome back", and mean it.

Semper Fi, brother.

All right! Just went through some of the D-Con pics and saw Chris there - makes me even sadder to have missed it!

It's great to see you back, FNG!

It was great to meet you at D*Con this year, Chris. Lance Henriksen may have ended up not being present for my first drop, but judging from everything I've heard and from meeting you myself I think my first gig with the USCM was commemorated by something better still.

Hoo Fuckin' Rah.

what else can I add?

Ah yes.

And Lo Chris came down from the Mountain, glowing, for he had been in the presence of God.

Chris gave unto the costumers the Holy Dirt. And it was good.

For yea, he walked through the Valley of the Shadow of Dragon*Con. Bringing the people replicas and advice and awe inspiring company.

Holy shoot...! Just got an awesome idea... next year, we recreate DaVinci's "Last Supper"! Guess who plays Jesus?!

Rex once said that although he does a lot of different costuming with other groups... he's found no better spirit of camaraderie than with the Colonial Marines.

I say if this camaraderie could be isolated, synthesized, duplicated, contained and squeezed into some old fart, it would be Chris.

Old fart??

Watch your mouth young man!!
This is 'Chris' we're talking about!!
