JOSHUA H. MATHEWS

Can´t believe it´s 10 years you´ve been gone. My son, Tanner, now plays football with your nephew, Aidan. I tell Tanner how tough of an athlete you were and how Aidan reminds me of you when we used to play ball. Miss you bro.

My deepest condolences to your family and especially your nephew. I know how much you cared about him. Rest in peace brother.

The Final Salute

“Brothers in Arms”, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged “Hand Salutes” as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another.

This “Hand Salute” is the last that we shall render to Joshua H. Matthews our “Brother-in-Arms”. To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for Josh. And to Josh it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the devoted and selfless service he rendered to his country during Operation Iraqi Freedom while serving in the U.S. Army. Josh, you served with honor and distinction; we bid you a sad farewell. You will be dearly missed from among our ranks. Be at Ease. Rest in Peace.

On behalf of the 1,261 members of Lowe-McFarlane Post 14 of the American Legion, I extend our sympathies and our condolences to Josh's family and loved ones.
