Statement from the family of Corporal
Matthew McCully

As the family of Matthew McCully we wish to
express firsthand how proud we are of Matthew.
Matthew was caring, outgoing, adventurous
somewhat quiet young man. He had a "mission” and
he was going to fulfill it at all costs. Matthew
died doing what he wanted to do and doing what
he truly believed in. Matthew will be greatly
missed, he will be remembered as our and
Canada's Hero. At this time we would like to
extend a sincere thank you to our Canadian Army
for their tremendous support to our family
during this difficult time. The McCully&Monkley

How boring life would be if we were all the
same......How nice it is to know we all have
special qualities to share. Michelle L McCully
