SGT. Mathes, a True Hero

Sgt. Marcus Mathes was killed in action on April 28, 2008.  He was 26 at the time. He leaves behind his wife of 6 years, Jules, who is dealing remarkably with this situation.  Marcus was a wonderful husband and son. He was also a proud uncle of his neice and nephew, Elyse and Kayne.  We will all miss Marcus, and welcome encouraging words and your memories of him.  Please feel free to upload any pictures that you have of him. 

 

We love and miss you, Marcus, and can't imagine our lives without you.

Memories

Everyone's HERO

Katie Schuldt May 26, 2008

Had to pick the shooting Star for Jules.
I know Jules through penpaling. We started writing in 2003. I do have a memory of Marcus (many through her letters). I talked to Jules on the phone a few times and one of those times I got to talk to Marcus. He seemed like such a nice person. I'm so glad he had Jules all these years to share his life with. They are simply perfect together, no other way to put it. I wanted to THANK him for all he did for my freedom. God Bless him! And his FAMILY!
