SCHELLSBURG, Pa. — Friends and family honored a Pennsylvania soldier who re-enlisted following the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and became Bedford County’s first casualty in the war in Iraq after his vehicle crashed March 17.
Army Spc. Clint Matthews, 31, of Bedford Township, died three days after he was injured when an Iraqi road gave way, sending his Bradley Fighting Vehicle tumbling 60 feet into the Tigris river in Baji, Iraq.
More than 50 people came to the Mickle-Geisel Funeral Home for the brief service Saturday evening.
“He simply wanted to go back and serve his country,” the Rev. Stoney Benfield told mourners.
