About me: Christopher Levi was born March 12, 1983 in Charleston, South Carolina weighing in at 9 pounds ten and a half ounces. He was born the happiest smiley kid who was constantly cracking jokes and making everyone around him laugh. He would do almost anything to get a laugh out of you. Two years younger than his oldest sister he was extremely protective of her. A few years later his second sister Emily came along and Christopher decided he was going to take part in protecting not only his family but his entire country. He left home at the young age of 14 and attended New York Military Academy. He graduated from the academy and went on to attend college in Albany. Christopher had always intended on joining the military after he finished college. However after the tragedy of 9/11 Christopher could no longer bear that he was not serving his country in it's time of need. He dropped out of college and joined the army. He didn't tell his friends or family that he was doing so until he was enlisted to ensure that they could not talk him out of it. Christopher took his service to his country one step further and became Ranger certified, guaranteeing that he could do anything that the Army needed him to do. Christopher served a tour of duty in Afghanistan and then was redeployed to Iraq in November of 2007. Christopher has always been an amazing, strong, and dedicated person and has never thought twice about doing whatever the Army needed from him. Recently, four days after his 25th birthday Christopher was injured when an exploding device hit the humvee he was riding in. His injuries are extensive including the loss of both of his legs and serious damage to his right arm. He is fighting to get through recovery however he knows it is going to be a long and hard road.
Who I'd like to meet: Thanks to all the support we have received Christophers house has been remodled to fit his needs. We cannot thank you enough for the moral and financial support we have received over the last year. God bless you and your family's.
