There were three children in our family. I was the oldest, then Mark and Chris. We grew up in the country outside Charlotte, N.C.,  roaming the woods looking for treasures; Going to church every Sunday; and having family over for birthdays, holidays and cookouts. All three of us were in Boy Scouts. Both my brothers earned their Eagle Awards. We rode bikes, dirt bikes, go carts and generally had a great middle class life. I Left home first to pursue a broadcasting career; Mark went to college and became an engineer. Chris took ROTC in High School and then joined the Army. He went on to apply and be accepted into the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment. He became a mission specialist crew chief on a Black Hawk. On February 21, 1991, the unexpected happened to our family. We became a Gold Star Family.
At just 25 years old; Christopher Jones Chapman lost his life serving our country.

I have dedicated the station to my brother, and all of the men and women who
have served our country in the military and I vow to remember those who lost their life
in that service for all of us in America. Please Remember those families who have lost
their loved ones and PLEASE pray for the men and women who continue to
stand between our enemies and our freedom.
