"I'm here because I love my country, I love the military and my heart bleeds for the mothers and the family members," said troop supporter Inez Petersen. Noble said, "He was a brave boy. He was a good human being and the world is better, I'm better and you're better because Charlie was born." This was Sgt. Matheny's second tour in Iraq. He was due to get out of the Army in August.
