My very deepest sympathy to the family for your loss!

The soldier stood and faced God, Which must always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shining, Just as brightly as his brass. 'Step forward now, you soldier, How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek? To My Church have you been true? ' The soldier squared his shoulders, and said, 'No, Lord, I guess I ain't. Because those of us who carry guns, Can't always be a saint. I've had to work most Sundays, And at times my talk was tough. And sometimes I've been violent, Because the world is awfully rough. But, I never took a penny That wasn't mine to keep... Though I worked a lot of overtime When the bills got just too steep. And I never passed a cry for help, Though at times I shook with fear. And sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept unmanly tears. I know I don't deserve a place Among the people here. They never wanted me around, Except to calm their fears. If you've a place for me here, Lord, It needn't be so grand. I never expected or had too much, But if you don't, I'll understand.' There was a silence all around the throne, Where the saints had often trod. As the soldier waited quietly, For the judgment of his God. 'Step forward now, you soldier, You've borne your burdens well. Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets, You've done your time in Hell.'

We are so sorry to hear of your loss. We are proud, and I am sure you are of your son for serving our country. Our son Elton is also serving with the 772 in Iraq. May God bless you and your family. "p" <=><

I am at a loss for words. I was in complete shock when I read about Matt. He was friends with my son Greg and had been over my house many times. He was always a polite, happy guy. May his memories keep you strong. The Soul takes flight to the world that is invisible. At there arriving, he is assured of bliss, and Forever dwells in Paradise. -Plato With deepest sympathy, Anne-Marie Nevulis

My husband and I are very sorry for the loss of your son Matthew. Our son Nick also serves in the 772 and wanted us to extend his deepest sympathy and to let you know how much he will be missed.

My deepest regrets go out to the entire family of a true hero. May Matts family and most importantly his wife Sarah remember all their greatest memories with him, and know that our entire town will be there for you guys. May Matt rest in peace and recieve a true hero's welcome.

Freddie and family. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I have not seen Matthew since he was little. Thoughts and prayers are with you all at this very difficult time. Carrie (Rhonda's friend)

I am so sad to learn of Matt's passing. I remember him as a fourth grader in my class at Esten School. He was a little guy with a big heart. I especially want to tell his parents, brothers,sisters and his wife Sarah how sorry I am. May God bless you all and may the memories of Matt sustain you and bring you peace.

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. God Bless

The Pollini family and Sarah are suffering a loss of such great magnitude. My thoughts and prayers go out to you as you find some way to search for memories of Matthew that will sustain you. Be proud of what he stood for and what he was fighting for. He sacrificed his freedom and life for others to be free. Joe wrapped it up so perfectly. He was a hands down hero. Hold you heads up and look to God and your family and friends for comfort. Cherish the memories that Matt created with you and hold each other closer than you did before. Life is precious. May God bless all of you and help you to live your life in honor of him.

Mr. and Mrs. Pollini, I'm very sorry for your loss. Matthew, Thank you for your service to our great country. GOD BLESS

Matt, I remember the airport mission we did a few years ago, when we were partnered together almost everyday. All games and other distractions we created to get through those long, boring shifts. You were a good Soldier, and more importantly, a good person. God speed my friend.

Matt, I wasn't really close to you in school but, I knew you enough to be in disbelief when I heard about your passing. You were always such a nice, friendly kid when we took shop together in school. Even outside of school when I would go to Hannafords! You were always soo happy and friendly. Always striking up a conversation with me, even just taking the time out to say "hello!" You and your families are in my thoughts and prayers! Take care of yourselves and Rest Peacefully Matthew!

Don't ever forget what Matt has sacrificed for all of us.

Matt was an amazing person.He was willing to help anyone he could. I remember when he was on his way home and some lady was on the side of the road and matt and joey stopped to help her.

A true American hero lost. God bless Matt and his family.

I am so sorry for your loss

Matt: You will always be remembered! You were what others did not want to be. You went where others feared to go, and did what others failed to do. You asked nothing from those who gave nothing and reluctantly accepted the thought of eternal loneliness?Should you fail. You have seen the face of terror, felt the stinging cold of fear and enjoyed the sweet taste of a moment?s loved. You have cried, pained and hoped, but most of all, you lived times others would say were best forgotten. At least someday you will be able to say that you are proud of what you were a SOLDIER!

All of our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this devastating time in your lives. SPC Pollini, a fellow soldier and friend to so many will never be forgotten. God Bless both you SPC Pollini and your family.

I did not know your son but he is my brother in arms. I am very saddened by what has happened. I am so sorry for your loss you will all be in my prayers god bless you in the hard times to come.

Joey and Family: You are in our thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time. We are neighbors and although we didn't know Matthew very well, we watched him grow into a respectful young man. As kids, Joey and Matthew would ride bikes, play over the river and on the hill at the end of our street, and do crazy "boy stuff". Those are the memories we won't forget. You guys were always together and it was nice to see. I feel like we have that in common, our family is very close, especially Dave and Scott. Joey, your brother taught you everything and was your best friend. You are a reflection of his wonderful personality, loyalty, and commitment. Stay strong and don't lose sight of your dreams. You are a great kid and the future is bright for you. P.S. Dave and Scott are here if you need anything. Your neighbors and friends, The Whiting's
