 Died on April 27, in the Brooke Army Medical Center, San Antonio, Texas, of injuries sustained when an improvised explosive device detonated near his HMMWV during combat operations in Habbaniyah, Iraq, on Nov.21, 2005.

Here is some info on Matt Webber, he was a 23 year old College Student at Western Michigan University, and a member Sigma Phi Epsilon, but not your typical frat boy. There wasnt anyone who disliked him. He was a hard worker, pulling down a successful job at Circuit City, full time class schedule and still volunteered and was active on campus in his down time. He was a great friend and the life of the party. Attached are some pictures of him enjoying life. He fought hard for his country and his life and that makes him a hero. Attached is a news story that may also help. I'm short on words because how exactly do you describe someone who was so amazing.

Thank you for taking your time to remember everyone, I was afraid his death would be just another number to people who heard the news, just like each of these soliders they all have a story worth telling and you are doing just that.
