Ms Mead,

I just wanted to e-mail and express my sincere gratitude to you and all of the PGR that supported all of the events for the funeral of one of the best soldiers that I ever trained. Althought not mentioned, more that half of the platoon that Matt was in in the 82nd ABN division were in attedance and all were speechless, my self included, by the support that was there. It is comforting to know that there are people in the United States that when they say, " Thank you for what you do...thank you for your service" that it is true and genuine, not just some politically correct punch line. All of you are Great Americanss. God Speed
