Support a Great Cause




Our friends at AFBlues.com are honoring the memory of our fallen comrade, SSgt. Chris Frost, with a phenomenal commemorative coin, the proceeds from which will go to support Frost's young  children,  Mitchell and Mackenzie.  More from AFBlues:

The whole thing is antique silver, and has a shiny coat of epoxy that only covers the inner circles, which is unique. The front side features, in all his comic glory, Chris, smiling like he often did and wearing the exact same uniform he does in the strip. At the top, contained within a black ring, his rank and name are represened, with staff stripes on either side. At about the 8, 6 and 4 o’clock positions, respectively, it says “Father,” “Son” and “Friend.”

Flip it over, and the black ring has been replaced by a blue one filled with stars. Inside, each branch of military service currently serving in Iraq and Afghanistan is represented, and an American flag at half-staff pays neverending tribute beneath the following inscription:

“Forged in the memory of United States Air Force Staff Sergeant Christopher Frost and all others who are called home before they leave the war.”

You can put this coin in your collection and be proud of the fact that you helped two young children know how much their father meant to his brothers and sisters in arms, or those he fought to keep free


I had the honor of serving with Chris at Kirtland, and had a lot of fun with his dry sense of humor.  Frost was a Hell of a guy, a fantastic NCO and a good friend and it was heart-wrenching to learn of his way-too-soon demise.  More on his story here.
