Matthew Charles Ferrara

West Point, 2005

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Kyle Greenheck on November 15, 2007:

I didn't know Matthew at West Point, but like all the other Cadets I've run into since I was commissioned, I recognize their faces when we seemingly invevitably cross paths. I am stationed at Vilseck, GE, and as I was traveling with my wife to Vicenza last spring, I saw Matthew while at the Post Shoppette. Since I never had a conversation with him before, I didn't bother to try and say hello. He seemingly didn't recognize me, but I did him. The point is, we all know life is short, but for some of us life is shorter, if you see a classmate, go ahead and say hello, because it may be goodbye. I am so sorry for the loss of another classmate, and another American Soldier, but we all know we are proud to serve and willing to pay the price if necessary. To another fallen comrade, I say goodbye and we'll see you on the other side.
