Pfc. Christopher J. Reed of Craigmont, Idaho loved hunting and fishing with his brother, and wanted to use his military experience to get a job with the Idaho Department of Fish and Game. He had been in Iraq only three weeks when the vehicle he was riding in overturned. Reed graduated high school in 2003 and almost immediately joined the Marine Corps. His departure was delayed because on graduation night the two brothers got into a wrestling match and Chris ended up hurting some ribs. Before his deployment, Reed spent most of his time visiting friends and family. When it came to his family, he put them before everything else. Even when there was nothing to do Chris would turn a boring evening into an unforgettable memory. Reed is survived by his parents, Keith and Tammy Reed. He was 20.
