Chris Moon, US Army, Afghanistan, 20 years old, has died of his wounds

[panader0]

Chris Moon was Southern Arizona Baseball Athlete of the Year in 2006. He had a scholorship to athe U of AZ to play ball. He instead enlisted in the army. A little over a week ago he lost both legs from a roadside bomb near Kandahar. He was in the hospital in Germany, fighting for his life when I first posted about him. He died.
Edit to correct his age. He was twenty.
