Matthew Paul Ruffner

Hello,
We would like to express our deepest condolences and also let the Ruffner Family and friends know that we will be sending Care Packages to troops in Afghanistan this week and we'll be dedicating several of these to your loved one. Each package will carry the name, photo and the hometown of Matthew P. Ruffner US Army Chief Warrant Officer 3. We realize that this is a small tribute, but we do this with all respect and sincerity and we want you to know that it is made possible by...

I know there are no words to say at this time, except how sorry that I am. My thoughts and prayers are with you always. Matthew will never be forgotten.

For you every single soldier
Those who served so honorable
Your life was forever altered
While I'm home safe and free
I stand with grateful admiration
I stand respectful and so proud
I know I'm only a civilian
And I don't even know if it's allowed

But I salute you; allow me the honor
to salute you with...

My sincere sympathies for such a great loss. He was a great friend and I will greatly miss memories we shared. He had such an amazing passion and was truly a beautiful man... Such a loss. He will never be forgotten.

Thank you for your bravery and service, such a wonderful person, never to be forgotten, always in our hears!

Thank you for your selfless service. May your family, friends & brothers find peace in the future years. I didn't know you but my son serves with the 104th in Afghanistan. You have paid the ultimate price to preserve & spread FREEDOM. You will not be forgotten. RIP

Thank you for your service, dedication and friendship Ruff.
