Dear family of Matthew Q. Mcclintock, Thank you for allowing your son to join the army.I learned about him in my fourth grade class.We learned about the brave men and women that sacrificed their lives for our freedom.All gave some and some gave all.I know that freedom is not free.Your son gave up his life for our freedom he also gave up his son and his wife so that when they lay their head down they don't have to worry about if they are safe because they will already know that are safe.So I really thank your him for being in the army.I know that it is hard to lose a loved one and all those amazing and beautiful memories but just know that he will always be with you no matter what happens. Once again thank you so much.

To the Family:
Please accept my most sincere and heartfelt condolences for the loss of Matthew, a real true life American hero. He accomplished more in his too short 30 year lifetime than most people ever will. We will remember and honor his sacrifice to this nation in order to keep us safe from the evil he fought against. We will pray for his family and loved ones, especially his wife and baby boy. Matthew, you will not be forgotten. God Bless
