Sergeant First Class Cris Morales enlisted in the United States Army in 1986 with hopes of bettering his life. He served honorably in Operation Just Cause and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Sadly, Morales took his own life a day after he hit his twenty-year mark.

Cris Morales was a devoted father and a strong soldier. He worked hard to get to E7 and was close to his E8.

More than anything, Cris loved being a soldier and a 12bravo. He is dearly missed.
