Pfc Matthew A Bean
"Matthew died Thursday of massive head wounds suffered from a snipers
bullet during the search for the three missing soldiers from the 10th
Mountain Division.
Matthew Bean was awarded the Bronze Star during his service and a Purple
Heart posthumously, his father said.
He had survived three roadside bomb attacks, according to letters he
sent home to his family. His son was modest, Dana Bean said, and had
underplayed his role in discovering one roadside bomb and saving members
of his unit. "
All the above information from "Boston Globe" June 2, 2007
‘‘To him it was no big deal,’’ he said. ‘‘He was just doing what he was
supposed to do.’’
