SFC Matthew Hilton, As a Fellow soldier I thank you for your sacrifice for your country, may you guard the pearly gates and god bless your family till I can releive you of your post
I don't think the procession for President Reagan was this long. But the Gipper would not mind at all and probably volunteered to be the young man's tour guide over yonder.
Very touching ! I thought the thank you on the pa system 6:40 into the video was great ! I didn't know Matt but he was without a doubt A TRUE HERO to his family, friends and his country. God bless.
@nbtsb Deputy Eric Stein of Keokuk County, Iowa was killed in a gun battle with a deranged criminal on April 4th, 2011. His funeral procession included more than 700 emergency vehicles from around the state and country and stretched out 22 miles. He left behind a daughter.
Thank you for the video. I worked with Matt at Lathrup Village pd and really appreciate this. Matt is true hero in every sense of the word. To know Matt was to love him.
RIP to a true hero! Thank you for your sacrifice Matt, both to our country and our state! Best regards to the Hilton family, and you know that all of us who bleed blue are here for you!!!!!!!!
Excellent video. I was able to participate in the flagline at the church with the PGR but was unable to see the procession as I went directly to the cemetary. Thank you so much for this opportunity to see a great good bye to a true hero
what a fucking selfless life, i am glad that i may live in the time of such heros.

I really enjoy the police officers saluting you and the flag in the beginning by starting their sirens for a second.
