Scent-Sations - Hometown Hero: Christopher J. Hutton

Hometown Hero: Christopher J. Hutton

Hi, I am in HTF and saw that you honor heroes. My son is mine. He is Spc. Christopher J. Hutton and serving in Iraq right now. He has been over there for almost a year and may get to leave in Feb. of 2005, but he is enlisting and training in Ranger school in Georgia. So he thinks they will send him back to Iraq after that is over. His job is ammo driver for the troops over there and he has been shot at by bombs and missiles and even just missed by one Hummer in a convoy they had. His buddy died in that one. He has already seen some really bad stuff over there in this year and he says he prays for a couple of hours before he finally gets to sleep.They use the shipping crates for their little sleeping quarters and he says there are tons of them all lined up like a city block of little apt's, and at least one of them gets bombed each night.

I am so proud of him. He loves his job and is making Army his career. He can't stand it when someone try's to get out of their duty with wimpy excuses and illnesses. He lives with Asthma...we didn't tell the army and they didn't find out till he was already in Georgia doing the training exercise that you have to stay in a little room with a tear gas bomb set off and share a mask between all your men. He held out longer than all of them and when it was over he was so sick. That is when they caught him but he convinced his commanding officer to let him stay as he loved the Army. So, he is still there today and will be for a long time. Thanks for letting me brag a little about my son. I love him so very much and miss him terribly. He is the one who was always there for me helping me do things like move the furniture (I'm a single mom) and he would always go to the store for me and empty the trash and sometimes he would make dinner and desserts for me. I always pray for a huge ball of angels around him and I know they are there watching over him.

He is married and he has three children. 4, 3, and 3 months. The three month old was born out here and she was very sick so the red cross arranged it for him to come home for twenty six days. The baby is well now and he had to go back but it sure was good not having to worry for those twenty six days.

Thanks,
Kathleen Britain
