Army Sgt Cooper was assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 28th Infantry, 172nd Infantry Brigade, Schweinfurt, Germany. He died of injuries sustained from a non-combat related incident. Chris began his career in the military in 2000 when he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. After serving for five years with a tour in Iraq, he decided to leave the military and moved to Oceanside, California. After several months, Chris decided that civilian life wasn't for him so he enlisted in the Army Reserves and then went active duty in the U. S. Army. He enjoyed returning home to visit with family and friends, but then could not wait to get back to rejoin his brothers in arms. On October 2, 2009, he had re-enlisted. Chris was a jokester, kind, charming, handsome and a great person to be around. He also had a good heart and could be found dropping a twenty dollar bill in the lap of the homeless to picking up and caring for tattered American Flags that littered the streets after September 11. He never complained and would lift the hearts and minds of those around him. Chris was a restless soul who finally found a second home in the military – a man who slept, ate and breathed that life.
