ABOUT MATT LITTRELL
Matt Littrell was an infantryman in the Marine Corps with Golf Company 2nd Battalion 5th Marines. He served from December 2001 to December 2005 and served two tours to Iraq during my enlistment. In April 2014 he began his trek, taking two mustangs and riding from Camp Lejeune in North Carolina to Camp Pendleton in California.
Matt is doing this cross-country ride to raise money for the Injured Marines Semper Fi Fund. The Semper Fi fund is an organization that provides assistance to wounded veterans who suffer from visible and invisible wounds suffered in combat. The need to help our veterans is great. Government funded organizations, such as the VA, are so back-logged and inadequately staffed that claims are taking too long to help our vets in time. Matt has witnessed too many of his own brothers die long after the shooting stopped and can remain idle no longer. |
