Christopher was nominated by his wife, Laura:
My hero is my husband Christopher. He is a dedicated hull technician who has served in the US Navy for 5 years and plans for many more years to come. He has sacrificed so much for us and for his country and never once complained. He always has a positive attitude no matter what the circumstance and for that he is the most amazing person that I know. He is the type of man that would give you the shirt off his back, very caring and always there for someone when they need it the most. My hero and I have been together for almost 2 years with 2 children and 1 on the way. No matter what has come our way or what will come our way, Christopher is always here to support and love his family and we love him so much for that. He will always and forever be our hero!
