    Thanks, Matt. You and your team are great role models for kids like me. I am only 13, but am hoping and training to become a Navy SEAL just like you and your team. You and your team inspired me to train to become a SEAL. You and your team gave up everything to save our country and freedom., and that means a lot to me. I want to model my life after you. I have enormous respect for you and SEAL team 10. RIP and God bless you, a true American hero.

    Mrs. Axelson,
    I don't know what to say to express how moved I am by Matt's fight, will, selfless sacrifice for my family and I. I am a 36 year old grown man, and I am speechless. There just aren't any words that can express the amount of gratitude that I have for you, Matt, his parents, and his teammates. Truly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you!

    You will never be forgotten. I have a friend that just graduated as a SEAL. And it's stories like this that pushed him through his training. If it wasn't for men like you, he wouldn't have gotten to where he is.
    We need more men like this in the world.
    God bless and R.I.P.

    Mrs. Axelson,
    I am a 37 year old man, a vet, a father of two boys....I just finished Marcus' book. It's stories like these that people need to hear, to remind them of the cause these guys were fighting for on that fateful day. As I wipe my tears....I also am thankful for their service & sacrifice and your sacrifice as well. My prayers go out to you. Rest In Peace My Fallen Brothers!

    The sacrifice men make for this country is incredible. Willing to lay down their lives for thousands they have never met. In my mind, there is no place more honorable to die than on the battlefield. I do not wish to die, but my dream is to become one of those men, willing to pay the ultimate sacrifice. Hooyah.

    What a beautiful couple. Through the video, it's so clear how happy you were together, and how deeply you were in-love. I can't begin to understand how you go on without your best friend. You must be a very strong woman. I thank you for your husband's dedication to our freedoms and way of life. Thank you for sharing this little window into your personal life. It encourages/reminds me not to take for granted those closest to my heart.

    This man was the embodiment of true courage to go into the jaws of the enemy like he did and the selflessness he showed proven by his dying words that were dedicated to his wife Cindy are simply beyond heroic. He is an inspiration to all men like myself who can only dream to be a fraction of the man he was. God bless your soul Matt and comfort those who loved you.

    I just finished Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell...gut wrenching and extremely depressing to read but when you discover what sort of men they were and what sort of person Cindy married, you cant help but respect the guy..they were and are very very special characters and gave their lives for our freedom and the right to life a good life.

    This video breaks my heart. I know exactly what it feels like to be in the military and be away from the one you love. Military relationships are always so god damn hard. Through all the darkness and pain that comes with serving, sometimes the only thing that keeps you sane is knowing that person back home is waiting for you and still loves you.

    Dear Cindy,
    Watching this video showed how much it hurts to lose some one. I have served two years in the marine crop, E.O.D. I've work with navy seal before these men are true warriors with hearts of gold. For me I've lost three good friend over in Iraq everyday I still see there faces every time I good to sleep. Your husband must be a very sweet person but don't forget he's always in your heart and all of ours. If I was on a ops with your husband I would lay down my life him.

    Last week.... while shopping with my wife, this song came on. All that I could think of was Matt, Cindy, Marcus, Danny, Mike, those who died attempting to respond as back up, my own friends lost down range, my brother police officers lost, all war fighters, my love for my wife.... my pride in my country. Thank you Mathew and Mathews family from another stranger whohas been touched by the lives of others.

    I don't think anyone could pay higher tribute to Matt Axelson than Marcus Luttrell did in the aforementioned book "Lone Survivor." That being said, this short comment is in tribute to the life of Matt Axelson and the ultimate sacrifice he gave for his country, the USA. The lives of Matt and all other US military men and women lost fighting for the freedoms we enjoy here (and too often take for granted) will never be forgotten. My condolences go out to the family and friends of Matt. R.I.P.

    It looks like he had a wonderful wife. She is always smiling and touching matt.
    I wish to GOD we would just get out of Afghanistan because the sad thing is we cannot change that culture. No amount of SF soldiers can turn back the hands of time. They will never like howard stern and rap music, They will never shop at wal-mart or accept the fact that we can teach them how to grow food.
    R.I.P. Matt and to all others who gave their lives for what they believed was just. Condolences to his wife.
