THE SARGE IS GONE : RIP AL MATTHEWS


Yesterday, AL MATTHEWS ("Sgt Apone" in 'Aliens') died at the age of 75.

Before starring in my all-time favorite movie, Matthews served almost six years in the Marine Corps in Vietnam, receiving 13 combat awards and two Purple Hearts!


"All right, sweethearts, what are you waiting for? Breakfast in bed? Another glorious day in the Corps. A day in the Marine Corps is like a day on the farm. Every meal's a banquet. Every paycheck a fortune. Every formation a parade. I LOVE the Corps!" -'Aliens'


AL MATTHEWS
1942 - 2018
