In this powerful episode of Gold Star Stories, Ami Neiberger shares the life and legacy of her younger brother, Specialist Christopher Neiberger, who was killed in Iraq by an explosively formed penetrator (EFP) in 2007 — just three days after his 22nd birthday.
Ami opens up about the day everything changed, the emotional weight of sibling grief, and how she transformed her pain into purpose through advocacy and storytelling. From childhood memories and stolen traffic cones to military service and loss, this conversation is raw, real, and unforgettable.
We explore what it means to be part of a Gold Star Family, how the community often misunderstands grief, and why stories like Chris’s deserve to be remembered — loudly, and often.
