Christopher A. Merville liked nothing better than tramping around Revolutionary and Civil War sites. "He really loved history," said his uncle, Edwin Merville. "We walked those battlefields out east. His dad was in the Army, which might have had something to do with his signing up and his interest in history." Merville, 26, of Albuquerque, N.M., died Oct. 12 when his unit came under fire in Baghdad. He was stationed in South Korea, where he became engaged to Renabeth Luis from the Philippines. He wrote his mother about being promoted and getting better pay. "Now I can look forward to having a little more saved for when I finally return to American soil. That way I have something to start my foundation as a married man. Yikes!" he wrote. Merville attended the University of New Mexico and could retain a working knowledge of any language in a few months, said another uncle, Herb Merville. "He spoke German just like a native," he said. "He could pick up other languages so easily. That''s why the Army initially recruited him."

My son, Mike, served with Chris in Korea and Iraq. Though I never met Chris, I feel as though I know him. Chris has not been forgotten by our family and never will. Mike has kept a picture of Chris on his wall ever since he got back from Iraq. He and his buddies also have Chris' initials tatooed on their arms. Despite my wifes' dislike of tatoos, she has never criticized that one! We hope this Memorial Day finds the family and friends of Chris healing. Thank you Chris for your service and...

“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about...
