With selfless commitment to the ethos of service and the military's camaraderie of spirit, Christopher Hossfeld served in the United States Army for nearly 30 years as an infantry officer, including as a battalion commander with four tours of combat totaling three years and nine months. His military career culminated with a professorship at the Army War College.
From a family of public servants of police officers, as well as Navy and Army Air Corps, Hossfeld followed in those footsteps, thinking it was a way to pay for college. He began at West Point, returned to Washington, enlisted in the National Guard and eventually earned an ROTC scholarship at Washington State.
