Matt...Thanks for your duty to your country and to keeping your family safe. I can not thank you enough.

I know how you felt and how you feel. You have made a sacrifice that cannot be regained and it is all so that people can openly express thier opinions.Some of which seem very stupid. Extreem thanks brother you deserve the honor!

You honor your nation to go where your president sends you. Loyalty to our constitution is the purest form of bravery.

Thank you.

Hey, nephs. If you get a chance, tell him my church and I are praying for him and the rest of the men in his outfit. Thanks.

Matt - Thanks for all you have done!! Glad your home safe!!

Welcome back Matt,
You deserve a great deal of respect and gratitude.
Ignore as best you can the political circus, your
service protected them.

Thanks a bunch Matt, glad ya made it home safe.
I don't agree with Beenies last statement but none the less our boys are doing a great job in very bad situation.

Kevin, one of our service techs, is in the National Guard. His unit is expected to be called up on Aug.15th. He has already gone up to Fort Drum for his pre-physical and to make a will.

Vermont has lost more soldiers per capita than any other State in this Iraqi War. A sad satistic.

Unlike the Vietnam War, we as a Nation must never forget that we where attacked by this enemy. If left unchecked we would be dodging car bombs in our city streets. Letting this become a political issue is dishonoring our Troops

Thanks Matt and all the soldiers and vets out there. My family really appreciates what you've done for us. I may not always agree with the choices made by the government but I'll always support the USA esspecially the soldiers that fight or fought or simply served to keep us free.

Hi, Matt! We're glad you're back safe'n'sound. It's guys like yourself who stand in the gap for free people everywhere and we owe you more than we can repay. A huge thanks to you and your family for your sacrifices.

BTW, my son is a deputy sheriff in TX and I hear some really scary stuff from him. It really makes me edgy about his job so I can relate to your family. Thanks again for hangin' your life out there so that the rest of us can sleep at night.

WE OWE YOU BIG TIME!

Thanks Matt,

For your personal sacrifice. You and all the others have certainly given us a step up on terrorism.

Thank You Matt,

I'm proud of all our servicemen and women who would give up their valuable freedom and even those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, to bring the same liberty that we enjoy to those who have never known it.

Sincerely,
David "Otto" Weddell

Thanks much to you and all of our brave soldiers.

My brother is due back in the states in 6 days for 2 weeks R&R. As a family member sitting on the sidelines watching the soldiers they have thuroughly impressed me with thier morale and commerodery. It is truly commendable what you guys do and the country owes a great deal of gratitude to you all.

America salutes you!

Thanks for your service to our country and your community.

Jimmy

Thank you so much, Matt, for the personal sacrifice that you have made with your time and family, so that we all might live in freedom.
