However, I served with PFC Chao back in Germany assigned D Company 5/5 Cav when we were both privates. I always remembered Chao always munching on a snack! RIP brother.

I'm crying right now and thanking the people that support our family.I was only 3 or 4 when he passed.He would always played puzzles with us when he came home.I remember when I would ask him a question and I would think of a corn field.Whenever he passed I didn't get it I was little but now I get it and its very heart breaking.I just wish he was still here.I will always love u Cornell!😢 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 10:34:22 -0700 https://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/cornell-c-chao/#c96628 https://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/cornell-c-chao/#c96628 It is very sad to hear of such a huge loss. He was someone's son, fiancé, and friend. I look forward to the day when we will no longer have to fear death. When the words at John 5:28, 29 will be fulfilled: "the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will come out". May God continue to comfort his family.
