BANGOR (AP) – A soldier who left behind a young daughter in Maine said his greatest fear was “not coming home to his little girl.”

Army Spc. Christopher Wilson, 24, made the remark on the social networking Web site MySpace.com before being killed last week by a rocket-propelled grenade while deployed with the 10th Mountain Division in Afghanistan.

On the Web, Wilson expressed his love for his 4-year-old daughter, Boston sports teams and his “buddies back home.” He said his goal for 2007 was to “stay alive.”

Army records identified Wilson as being from Bangor, but most of his family ties are in Chicopee, Mass. His daughter, Jayden, is believed to be his only family member living in Maine.

, said Maj. Michael Backus, director of public affairs of the Maine National Guard.

While it appears Wilson spent most of his youth in Massachusetts, he identified Bangor as his hometown at the time of his Army enlistment in September 2002.

He completed the preliminary Army requirements at the military entrance processing station in Portland, said Ben Abel, media relations officer at Fort Drum, N.Y.

Three other soldiers were wounded in the attack that claimed Wilson’s life on March 29 in Korengal Outpost, Afghanistan, officials said.

Gov. John Baldacci will order flags flown at half staff on the day of Wilson’s funeral. Funeral services were undetermined Wednesday.
