Update from Jan. 29, 2023

Thank you to everyone for your generosity and thoughtfulness during this difficult time. Meg is incredibly appreciative to each and every person who has reached out over the last few weeks and shared heartfelt memories of Matt.

To keep everyone updated, the Army packed up their house in Hawaii and before officially moving out, the family was able to attend a sentimental Memorial Ceremony honoring Matt with the 25th Division Sustainment Brigade on Friday, January 27th.

Thank you all for your continued thoughts and prayers!
