Even though I am an Officer and Matt was enlisted, I will call him a friend. He always had a laugh during PT, the only time I interacted with him. God bless him. . .
Used to car pool with Matt to Partners in Education. Quiet guy, but pretty cool. I went to a different department, lost contact with him, never even knew he got deployed. I don't think I'll ever forget the day I found out some coward murdered him.
I was on the trip to the white house with him when that picture was taken, the one you have was taken about 30 seconds before this one;
