KIRTLAND AIR FORCE BASE A memorial service is set for Tuesday for a Kirtland Air Force Base sergeant who was killed in Iraq.
The base today announced that the services would be at the base chapel, starting at 9 a.m.
Sgt. Christopher Frost, 24, a native of Wisconsin, was killed Monday near Bayji, Iraq, when the Iraqi Army Mi-17 helicopter in which he was riding crashed.
He was assigned to Kirtland's 377th Air Base Wing and worked with the base's public affairs office.
Gov. Bill Richardson on Friday ordered that flags be flown at half-staff Monday and Tuesday in Frost's honor.
Frost is survived by his wife; a daughter; a son; a stepdaugher; his parents and three grandparents, the governor's office said.
