Christopher Vanderhorn served more than seven years in the military before re-enlisting in 2004. The Vanderhorns were married in 1991. They had two children, Max, 5, and Liam, 4 months. "Chris did love God; he loved his family; he loved this country," his mother said. "And we kind of laugh because he was born on Flag Day, and so we always flew a flag on his birthday."
