You are truly an American hero and the world in which we live is a safer place because of your commitment to freedom. We will now proudly stand for you with honor, dignity, and respect. We pray that you will now rest peacefully in the arms of God. May He provide peace, comfort, and understanding to each life you touched.

Itinerary for the Dec 8th viewing and the Dec 9th funeral.
Dec 8th Amundson Funeral home. 2975 S 42st in Grand Forks. Directions from Interstate 29. Take the 32nd Ave exit. Head east and get in the left lane right away. Turn left at 38th st.

When pulling in to the Funeral home turn right and park in the very back lot. Viewing is from 5-7pm. We will start staging at 4:00pm. Look for the black Ford 4x4 with the mounted flags. I will have my truck on the south side, towards the front. A brief meeting at 4:30pm. We will form an honor line in the front of the funeral home by 4:45pm.
Dec 9th Funeral at Valley Christian Center. 3920 Cherry Street in Grand Forks. Directions from Interstate 29. Take the same 32 Ave exit. Follow 32nd Ave about 2.3/2.5 miles.

Form honor line at 11:30am at the entrance of the chruch. Service is at 1:00pm. Will last about one hour. We will form the honor line again prior to the end of the service. We will escort to Memorial Park South Cemetery. 3002 Washington Street South. You will pass this on your way to the Chruch on 32 Ave South. It will be on the left side. I would like most of the members to head to the cemetery after the service before the procession. Please form an honor line at the burial site.To get to the cemetery from the chruch, get back on Cherry street until 32Ave South. Take a right on South Washington Street and get the the left lane right away and and turn into the cemetery lot.Please park a distance from the site to allow family/friends close parking.

Our Prayers and thought are with Chris and his family. North Dakota has proudly added the name of another hero
to its list of fallen warriors. Words cannot express the feelings of sorrow and gratitude we have for the sacrifice that
he has made to keep our country free and democratic. The United States was born with efforts of those men and
women who believed in the freedoms of religion, speech and a personal vision for individual life. Chris gave his life
to continue that mission, and our mission will be to honor and cherish his dream by keeping his patriotic passion
in our hearts.
We may give the final salute for Chris as he departs this worldly domain, but certainly will have the opportunity to
thank him in person some day. Rest In Peace Hero...you have earned your reward.
