My condolences to the family of this young hero who paid the ultimate price. We thank you Christopher for your brave service. Our hearts go out to the loved ones you've left behind.

my heart goes out to this young man and his family...I know way too many military widows...I won't bring political views into this, but want to honor this fallen soldier...May be gone but will never be forgotten, so sad, so many young lives lost...thank you for your services and sacrifices for our country...I wish his family the best in getting through their loss

Thank you Christopher for your ultimate sacrifice; I pray that the Lord takes you into his loving arms and grants you eternal peace, and also that he grants comfort & peace of mind to your surviving family and friends at this most difficult time. Rest in peace my friend!

Semper Fi.

Could not state it any better than all of you did. My heart and prayers go out to you and your family, Christopher, and thank you.

Its people like him that put it all on the line for the rest of us that makes this country great.

So sad, thank you for your service and protection, RIP, condolences to family and friends.

He was killed for OIL and American Imperialism! What a shame!

May God bless you RIP

So sad to young... prays to the entire family... makes ya thing twice if the " war" is really over when young men & woman are drying ... RIP & thank you for your service

May God bless you and your family.
We all, as I will, pray for his family.

@willynilly. He was killed fighting terrorist! A That would kill you for speaking your mind as ignorant as it is! If you dont like this so called "American Imperialism" then there planes leaving everyday, be on one! And if it lands safely you can thank people like this man. Now i m sure you are late for a Christmas tree protest somewhere you troll

Let this be a reminder to all of us this Christams season when you are stuck in traffic, or waiting in line at the store and complaining about it. If it wasn't for the bravery of this young man, you wouldn't have the ability to complain....so before you do, think of this young man, and his family, and what they sacrificed. God Bless you sir.

Meant " Christmas" season.

Thank you for keeping us safe...Rest in peace.

He has made the ultimate sacrifice so that we may sleep well at nite. RIP Marine. Your watch on earth is over as you begin your watch on heavin's scene.
SEMPER FI

God Bless this man for his bravery. Please if you don't like this country......just go away, far far away.

The "terrorists" are used as a false pretext to take away our liberties and start more false flag wars. We're bombing other countries and sponsoring the murder of Palestinians for NOTHING!

@ Willy feel free to get the hell out of America. It's people like him that allow you to make your stupid comment. By the way, terrorists will kill you simply for being an American. So shut up and say thank you.

Willy Nilly... Shut the hell up and have some respect you ignorant ass!

RIP! Prayers for his family! Thank you for your service.

THANK YOU FOR YOU SERVICE YOUNG MAN ! RIP

Thank you and God bless you and your family.

My heartfelt condolences to the family of U.S. Marine Cpl. Christopher M. Monahan, Jr.
You are all in my prayers. Semper Fi.

My point is that his death was unnecessary as much as it was sad. Osama Bin Laden was a CIA asset, so our whole reason for being there is hogwash. We've been occupying these lands and murdering these civilians, no wonder why they hate us! Look at Bradley Manning and what he did to expose this war machine!

@nilly this is not the place for your political bs. A Marine has died and his children won't see there dad on Christmas. So take it somewhere else u SOB.

Christopher died defending our freedoms. Including your freedom of speech, Willy Nilly. Maybe you should look for another forum for your opinions.

Wow, 25 with 3 kids!? I normally disprove of having kids under 25, but he fought for my freedom so I still respect him.

Camp Dwyer belongs to the Marines exclusively in southern Aghan. I worked as civilian this year and I saw what a sacrifice these young men and women do for us in such hot weather 110 degrees during the day and dry dry land. Our military is one of our nations national treasures that we should all embrace no matter your politics. Country first..

My sincere condolences for his family. Don't let his wife and children forget that he was a genuine American Hero. My son is in infantry training right now for the Marines. Watching what he has gone through in just these last six months is awe inspiring. You certainly can't make it through without a passion for this country and a passion for your fellow Marines. The obituary said he was a truck driver. Truth be told, he was a patriotic warrior who also happened to drive trucks. May Gods grace cover this family and bring them comfort.

Thank you for the ultimate sacrifice you and your family have made for our freedom. May your children grow to know that their Dad was a hero. God Bless.

Are your political attacks necessary to post on a page where family members are possibly reading to mourn their loss? Cpl Monahan had a belief to join our beloved corps and he died for that belief. He is a hero in this Marines eyes and many others. Have some respect. Not everyone is a bleeding heart liberal against war. My thoughts and prayers go out to Cpl Monahans family. Semper Fi!

R.I.P. Prayers go out to your familly....Thank You and all the Military for your services.

why even respond to idiotic comments? There are people who sit at their computers all day looking for a chance to make stupid comments so that people will respond. They get their "jollies" by doing this. Don't feed their sickness. Rest in peace Cpl. Monahan.

May God comfort his wife and children,words are difficult to find to thank him for his ultimate sacrifice. To his family and friends,you are in my prayers,we did not have to know him to mourn this loss.Rest in the arms of Jesus. to his family, he is watching over you from heaven. RIP Captain Monahan. God Bless all of our Military and you for your service in keeping our freedoms safe,

Don't respond to gutter trash ! Cpl. stand down your watch is over here on earth, Marines have taken up all slack so you can rest in peace Dear Son of America..Thank you for your dedicated service to US...Semper Fi- MARINE I salute you Sir ! Condolences to family & friends ..find peace in knowing he did his job, A true Hero .....

R.I.P. Christopher. And God Bless your family.

Rest in Peace young hero, thank you for serving this nation that we love! May God comfort your family in their sorrow!

Rest in peace you are a true American Hero and i pray for all of your family at this time and most of all for your small kids

my heart and condolences go out to his family and especially his 3 children. he gave his life in service to his country and i hope he and others like him get the respect they deserve. i hope this govt makes sure his wife and kids are provided for God knows they have enough on their plate to worry about besides financial or health cost issues. no matter what your opinion on the war is i think we can all agree we want all of them home now. bn you are truly sickening to use this for your anti obama nonsense. you do this on every thread about a fallen soldier i dont know why the patch hasnt banned you yet.

Too young, too many deployments. My heart and prayers go out to your family. My dad served in WWII but he was lucky and came home. He was serving his country and I hope that all Americans appreciate the sacrifice these young people are making. When I see a person in uniform I thank them and God Bless them. He is at peace and may your family in time find the same. God Bless you all and your family will be in my prayers

MAY THE GRACE OF GOD BE WITH HIM AND HIS FAMILY,,,RIP

I served with Cpl. Monahan in Iraq on my 2nd deployment which was his first, He was a good man and great Marine. He Died so that Americans can have all of our freedoms, one for instant, freedom of speech. That being said have some respect, there is a time and place for your political views and this is neither. Let him rest in peace, and let his family and his brothers in arms mourn in peace. RIP Monny, SEMER FI -Cpl. Trippi, USMC

Go easy brother, RIP. Semper Fi.
