Not sure what to say?

You don't know me. I am a military mom. My son, who is serving as seargent in Colorado, was there at field practice that day. We talked on the phone, first to see if he was ok, then to talk about your soldier. My son told me that Matthew was a wonderful soldier. He also was a very kind person. I want to thank you for Matthews service in the United States Army. And I know too well the sacrifices that are made by a military family. We never think about the fact they can be hurt when they are...
