To Matt--with love from family and friends







Matt--we miss you and can't wait to see you again! Be safe. Come home soon. Smile when you can...laugh when it's tough. Love you always...♥ Megan and Dominic "John Wayne" Baeza.


      hey son, meg hit this one right on the head, you should be getting lots of fan mail.  Now you know how a "country star" feels.              i love you                  mom


Dear Matt: I wanted to say hello and let you know that you are always in our thoughts and prayers. This brings new meaning to partying in the desert. I look forward to tilting a few with you in "our" desert when you get back. We had a visit from Megan and Dominic a couple of days ago and it was wonderful to see them. You are a blessed man! Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you on this end. God's speed, amigo! Jim


Hey Matt,   Just wanted to let you know that Leah and I are thinking about you and wish you the very best.  I truly admire what you are doing and the courage that you display.  I'm proud to call you my best friend.  Be careful and stay safe.  I can't wait to have a beer with you over some great stories when you get back.  Take care brotha.  See you soon.   Trey


Hi Matty!!!  I just wanted to tell you that we miss you!!!  Hope you liked the goodies that mom sent you, you should be getting some more in a couple of weeks.  Try not to get too dark over there.  Don't forget to duck and cover and stop drop and roll ( you never know when that might come in handy!!  )   Our thoughts and prayers are with you always!!  I love you!!! Your sis,  Nina


Hey Matt!! Hope all is going well for you. I'm glad you got my letter and the maple sugar candy! I will be making more as soon as Fran brings me home more syrup from his boss. If you ever travel from Camp Anaconda to Al Asad air base, keep your eye out for a tall, good- looking, skinny Marine.....it might be Josh!! Be safe and take care!!  aunt Pam

Matt, God is with you, and we are with you just like you are with us in our hearts. You have grown so much in the last year, with so many changes in your life.

Thanks Matt for the note and call wishing Tia well on her wedding day! It was so great to see your parents. I hope that they had a good time. Your Dad took some pictures that he said that he will send to you. When I get pictures, I will try to do the same. Jesse came to town and shared the whole weekend. Ronnee and her husband also came. Lesley Cruthcher, Tamara Milner and Cory Johnson were also there. It was great to see a bit of El Paso. Zach's son Josh didn't make it down the aisle as ring bearer but was sooo cute in his Tux. Still waiting for Grandson #2 to arrive. Now that the wedding is over, I hope Nathan will arrive soon. I think of you often. Love, Chris


Matt I thought you might get a kick out of seeing some pictures with no sand. The top one is of my graduation (waste of time) below which is Hailey. Also my brother had sent me a picture of the northern lights from the east coast thought you might like the change of scenery. My family and I wish you all the best. When you get back we will have the mother of all parties. P.S. Saw your son last Saturday I think he was eyeballing my daughter what's up with that?--Marco
