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.

When a mans heart is full of deceit it burns up, dies and a dark shadow falls over his soul. From the ashes of a once great man has risen a curse, a wrong that must be righted. We look to the skies for a vindicator, someone to strike fear into the black hearts of the same men who created him. The battle between good and evil has begun. Against an army of shadows comes the Dark Warrior, the purveyor of good, with a voice of silence and a mission of justice. - Steve "Sting" Borden |

To the family of Spc. Kleinwachter...
What words could possibly help during a time like this…
When we know not what we should pray for as we ought, the Spirit maketh intercessions for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Romans 8:26
So let not your heart be troubled, for your loved one has gone to the place which Jesus has prepared.
Stand down soldier, your mission here is complete.

My deepest and most sincere condolences to the family of Chris. My thoughts and prayers go out to those who cared and loved him.
This casuality hits a little too close, I am from Wahpeton. I had hoped and prayed that they would never have this happen and am saddened now. I dearly wish there was some way to be up in ND for the service if comes about, but having literally just returned from there it is impossible.
If you need anything just say so, i have alot of connections, friends and family there in Wahpeton!!
