FORT HUACHUCA — Christian is home.
Sunday, slightly after the noon hour, a plane carrying Spc. Christian Michael Adams landed at Libby Army Airfield.
Waiting for him were family members and an honor guard of soldiers.
The homecoming was sad, somber and sorrowful, as his family watched from just inside one of Libby’s hangars as the 26-year-old soldier’s body was taken from the plane to be returned to his family, by members of his extended family — fellow members of the Army.

any room he entered. i hadn’t talked to him in about 5 years when i read this
article. it didn’t even seem real until i saw his picture. my heart goes out
to his family and friends. christian, we will miss you, always.
Thanks to this soldier and his family. Has it ever been reported on how he
died? The only thing I have seen was that it wasn’t in combat.
