Matthew R. Driskell

I am heartbroken for you in your tragic loss.

Dear Gretchen and family,

Peter and I are very sorry for your loss. We cannot fathom what you must be going through at this moment and we wish you courage to carry you through until you will be able to cherish the memories of Matt that will unite you in spirit.

With love, Bettina Hoops and Peter Beardsley

Dear Driskells: My son, Graham, was in a helicopter detachment aboard the USS George H.W. Bush aircraft carrier. I wonder if Lt. Matt every landed on deck? Matt: What a dynamic young man, loyal son and sibling, US Naval Academy Graduate and in dedicated service to his country. I deeply sympathize with his passing. Regards, Dale

Dear Driskell family:

So sorry to hear about LT. Driskell. Whenever I seen his Mom, Gretchen, always asked how the United States Naval Officer was doing. Upon his graduation from the Naval Academy I asked his Mom to give him one of our local Vietnam Veterans chapter challenge coins & wish him well.

Fair winds and following seas Lt.
