Heroes in Service


A number of Christ School alumni have served honorably in our armed forces, but very few have become casualties of war. The selfless service of our heroes is something to recognize and honor, and this memorial page is dedicated to our comrades who fell in combat.

The helicopter disappeared from radar about 20 minutes after take-off. Airborne and ground searches were conducted in the area, but neither the helicopter nor its crew was found. Four men, including Alan Gunn, were placed in "Missing in Action" status and have still not been located.
