Capt. Matt Manoukian

To the family of Capt. Matthew P. Manoukian:
Matthew gave the ultimate sacrifice and will be held in the hearts of Americans forever. I cannot and will not let our fallen heroes be forgotten. My deepest sympathy to you. "Some gave all."

Pete/Patty/Michael/Martin-I can't express adequately my sorrow and grief over the death of Matt. I remember him well from our days in Seal Beach as a lively, smiling, good-hearted boy who was always looking out for his younger brothers. It always made me smile to see what a good person he was. I know how proud of him you must have been and my heart reaches out to you.

Dear Pete and Patty and family,
I am so very sorry for the loss of your son. I have only just now found this information. My very best and warmest thought for you and your family at this very difficult time. Best regards, Barbara Kasch, bkaykasch@gmail.com

Manukian Family,
Words cannot express my sincere empathy for your family. You are in my thoughts everyday and hope you can turn to each other for love and support.
Lots of love

To the Manougian Family,
I am so very sorry for the loss of your precious son. I taught at St. Nicholas for three years (late nineties, early 2000's) and enjoyed hearing several happy stories about the wonderful Manougian boys and family. May your family remain wrapped in the warmth and care of God as you walk this difficult road. I will pray for your wonderful, brave and inspriational boy.

Our hearts break for your loss. We are keeping Matt, you and your family in our daily thoughts and prayers.

To the Family of Capt. Matt Manoukian

I wish I had the right words to say at this time, but I know there are none. I grieve for the loss of your beloved son/husband/father and I know that I cannot fathom the pain you must be feeling. Your son will not be forgotten and what he did to help protect our homeland and our freedoms. It was his life that made him a Hero. It was his noble path that made him an American Hero. It was his ultimate sacrifice that made him a Fallen Hero. May God carry him to Heaven on His precious wings and give him a palace to live in. I pray that our Heavenly Father above will grace you with His love, His comfort and His peace. Heaven's Gates now has a new handsome Marine standing guard. Amen.

Dear Manoukians,
Matt and I were good buddies growing up. He was always a fun, positive and entertaining guy to be around. I'm grateful and lucky to have known him. We all were.
