Air Force Staff Sgt. Christopher S. Frost never forgot about those around him, his father said. "When he would ask to have stuff sent from home, whether it was batteries, candies or snacks, it would not be for him," Gary Frost said. "It would be for the kids or the troops out in the field for whom he had the utmost respect."
