SYRACUSE, N.Y. — When Army Spc. Christopher Simpson phoned home on Sunday from Iraq, Scott Simpson was nearly too busy to take his son’s call and almost asked him to call back.
It turned out to be their last conversation.
Simpson, 23, and another soldier were killed Monday when their convoy was hit with a roadside bomb in Baghdad.
Simpson had returned to Iraq in December for his second combat tour in three years. He was based at Fort Carson, Colo., with the 1st Battalion, 68th Armor Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division.

I am a friend of the fallen Spc. Shawn Falter of Homer NY. To his family, the pain you feel is not yours alone. I pray in Jesus' name that you are comforted by other families that have expiernced this parents' grief, and that your story- still not finished- will become a becon of light for others in the future. "For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light"

To the family of Spc. Simpson. My condolences to you. My heart goes out to you. I know of what I speak as we lost our beloved son-in-law 20 June 2007 in al Anbar province. There is a hole in our family and our hearts that some days we just don't know what to do with. You will have some trying days ahead but know that Christopher was doing what he loved by serving his country and providing a measure of safety for those of us who continue to enjoy the freedoms of this country. God Bless you and know that there are many more families who are mourning with you. We will never forget our boys and always love them.
Mother-in-law of Sgt. Shawn P. Martin, USMC
