Death of Staff Sergeant Christopher Todd Stout

SGM Weiss forwarded the following message from the Chief of Chaplain’s concerning the death of Sergeant Christopher Todd Stout, the first Chaplain’s Assistant killed in action since 1970 in the Vietnam War. Following is Chaplain (MG) Carver’s message:
Dear Family and Friends of the US Army Chaplaincy,
It is with my deepest sympathy and my utmost respect that I must announce that on July 13, 2010 Sergeant Christopher Todd Stout, while serving as the Chaplain Assistant for the 1-508 Parachute Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division, was Killed in Action in Afghanistan.
This is our first Chaplain Assistant Killed in Action since 1970 during the Viet Nam War. Sergeant Stout was a military professional of the highest caliber and a devout man of God whose love for Soldiers was only surpassed by his love for his Great God and Savior Jesus Christ.
Please join me in prayer for Sergeant Stout’s Family and our entire Chaplain Corps as we grieve his death. Let us continue to pray for our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen who daily are willing to lay down their lives to protect and defend our Nation. May God bless the Families of our Fallen, the members of our Armed Services, and the United States of America.
PRO DEO ET PATRIA…FOR GOD AND COUNTRY!

My condolences to the family, friends, and soldiers who mourn the death of a good soldier, one of the best. I am an American woman who has freedom because of men such as Staff Sgt. Christopher T. Stout. My husband is a Vietnam Veteran. He has many memories, hauntings. We (“Todd”, Aunt Frieda) had an experience at Riley Hospital in Indianapolis, IN many years ago. He lived because there was another mission in life for him. I can’t say that it is finished because the words he spoke, the faith he helped to stay alive, the love he had for his soldiers and family still remain alive in the hearts of those still here. There will be a reunion . . soon. No scars of death or war will be allowed or remembered. Until that day, Staff Sgt. Stout, your family and I will continue to walk the walk, talk the talk, and believe in the name of Jesus, just as you did. It won’t be long. We’ll meet again! Love, to your precious memory and family, in Jesus name. Sister Dovie
