Matt was one of the most caring friends you could ever ask for. The last time I saw him was December 2004 at the NJROTC alumni party. He was telling me that he was going back over. I asked if he was scared. He said no. That this was his job, this is what he wants to do. He said "If I don't go who is going to defend all of my friends and family" It was a personal mission for him. The last time I talked to him was the night before he went back to Iraq after his R&R and he said, don't cry, it will be what it will be. I was crying cause I wasn't able to see him while he was home. He will never be forgotten. I love and miss you Matt! I am so glad to see that your son Noah is safe and I remember Matt talking about him...Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10442423640705944322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9587882.post-1139522545032770602006-02-09T14:02:00.000-08:002006-02-09T14:02:00.000-08:00if anyone would care to see and post stories, memo...if anyone would care to see and post stories, memories, and photos of matt online, i have created a myspace page as a sort of happy, loving memorial to him Please visit: www.myspace.com/ourheromattAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9587882.post-1139510121705035342006-02-09T10:35:00.000-08:002006-02-09T10:35:00.000-08:00i'm a very good friend of matt's - he was a great ...i'm a very good friend of matt's - he was a great guy, you did get that right. :) he was definitely a one in a million. his funeral up here was well attended - there were cars all the way down the glenn highway, from Ft. Rich to Chugiak - it was amazing - Matt would have loved that. We used to joke that there wasn't enough space in a room for both Matt and his ego :) i'm glad that so many people are remembering and keeping his memory alive. in that way he will always be with us. <BR/><BR/>peace and love,<BR/>becky b, eagle river, alaskaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9587882.post-1127196776904045282005-09-19T23:12:00.000-07:002005-09-19T23:12:00.000-07:00You and Noah are in my prayers daily.
