Brothers,
I recently got an e-mail from a close friend ("Danny Muj") of the late CPT Charlie Robinson who was allowed (by Charlie's younger brother) to share some photos of Charlie with us from the time of his deployment with the Group until the laying of his remains in Arlington National. I found the pictures hard to look at because I always remember Charlie as he was - full of life, larger than life.
I'll post just a few on here.
BTW, his friend asked me if I knew who the flag presenter was at the funeral. I can't tell from the picture. Can anyone lend some info on that? Thanks again and "De Oppresso Liber
PS: These photos, and others, have been up in Charlie's brother's Facebook networking site - as a tribute to Charlie - for some time now.

Looks like BG Repass to me.

Basenshukal and TR
I agree it does look like BG Repass, but I may be able to find out for you. I seem to recall when Chris was intered 22 Aug 2005 that the Casualty Assistance Officer there had kept some records of brothers involved in the ceremony. Later today, I will contact Arlington and see if I can find out. Will post or PM as soon as I find out if there is a record.
I always spend time with the CPT whenever I go to Arlington, and I am grateful to know more about him now.
