LCpl Matthew Snyder, USMC, enlisted while still in high
school [March, 2003]. He was killed three years later [March, 2006] in
Al Anbar, Iraq. He was a gunner on a humvee, providing escort security
into enemy territory, and was killed in a rollover on the way back
from delivering supplies. Matt believed heart and soul in the Corps and in
his country. As terrible as it is to deal with the loss of our Matt,
we live with the comfort of knowing Matt lived life to the fullest,
having no regrets, having left here doing what he wanted to do, on his
terms. He died a true hero. He is truly, deeply and forever missed. But
through our tears, we celebrate a life well-lived and a young man
well-loved.
I want to thank my friend, Rodney Brewer, for posting this memorial
page for Matt. Rodney, you are appreciated. Julie Francis, Matt's Mom
