Ssgt. Christopher Bain—US Army, Wounded Warrior
Christopher Bain was born at Fort Pendleton, CA. His father was a Marine but, in 1992, Chris enlisted in the US Army, and was sent to Somalia. He was there during Black Hawk Down. From there, he spent 6 months in Egypt, and then on to Iraq.
August 8, 2004 was the best and the worst day for Chris. That day, he located his twin brother, Kim, but that night during a raid, his unit was ambushed and hit with mortars. Chris was gravely wounded, died on the battlefield, and then was brought back to life by his interpreter who gave him transfusions.
Chris spent 3 years at Walter Reed Medical Center. He has a battery implanted in his buttocks and sensors in his spine that bring his left side to life. Despite his injuries, Chris is a single digit handicap golfer. He is married and resides with his wife, Misty, and their 3 children in the Phoenix area.
SSgt. Christopher Bain has received the Purple Heart and the Silver Star for his service.
