Matt and I spent a lot of time together over the last couple years. I was proud to call him my friend. We were brothers in arms having both served in the armed forces. We often talked about our time and experiences in the service.
I watched and hopefully helped Matt and Sam turn their lives around over the last few years. Matt's devotion to his family and his concern for them was unmatched.
A few months ago Matt asked a favor of me. Matt I gave you my word and you have no...
