To the family of Lance Cpl. Matthew Serio:
Please know that just as your loved one remains in your hearts and minds; his sacrifice, and that of your family, remains with the people he died defending. Words cannot express the gratitude we feel for his bravery and selflessness, or the heartache we feel for your loss. God bless and keep you always.

To the family and friends of LCpl Serio;

He and I were in platoon 3104 in bootcamp, his rack was right next to mine. He was always a great friend when things got tough and made sure that we always smiled when things felt horrible. We had many long nights sitting up talking when we should have been sleeping. I just recently learned of his death and wanted to send my condolences. He was a great friend, and definitely touched my life he will always have a special place in my heart. My prayers are always with you.

Please accept my sorrow and deepest thanks. As I watch my 2 year old son, I can only imagine the loss you must feel. Your sacrifice has given my family and our country a great gift. I can only hope that your son's service will help keep my son from the danger of battle but, if it is fate that my son serve, that he serve bravely in the finest tradition that Matthew upheld.

It is difficult to know what to say since I want to express my sincere sympathy to the family of Lance Cpl Serio. Please know that your loved one is not forgotten. I wish everyone impacted by this tragic loss strength and peace. I hope that Lance Cpl Serio knew that there are people in America who respect his great courage in serving as a member of the US military. Although I did not know him, I know that he must have been a very special person to be willing to do something that most Americans will never have to experience, and for that we can never say thank you enough.
Thank you Lance Cpl Serio!

Another soldier that I know died last week. It opened up everything I felt four years ago when we lost you. I almost forgot how much I miss our late night talks about everything and nothing at all. I miss you but I know that you're watching over all of us from Heaven. I wish you could meet my husband, I know that you would like him. Not a day goes by that don't think of you and how one day we'll see you again.

For the former things have have passed away."
