Ode To Duff

He was fighting for us
On that Friday
Under the midday sun
In Sadr City

He had left a young wife
And newborn son behind
To fight for freedom
And a better life

From his laughing blue eyes
To that big boyish grin
He was a fiercely loyal
Life-long friend

He was a jovial, strong
Big-hearted man
Who was a fanatic for sports
And a huge Yankees fan

He was so full of life
A joy to be around
It was a shock for all to hear
That he would be Baghdad bound

Now the time has come
To pay our respects
To a Soldier, Father, Son, Husband,
and Friend

Do Chris this honor
While I have you all here
Share his stories and memories
In each passing year

Keep his spirit alive
and he will always be near.

In Loving Memory of
SPC. Christopher M. Duffy
KIA 4 June 2004
