Cheyenne Remembers Fallen Soldier

On Saturday the community of Cheyenne remembered Tech. Sergeant Matthew Schwartz at a soccer game held in his honor. Schwartz was a bomb specialist and a 12 year veteran of the U.S. Air Force. He was stationed at F.E. Warren. In January he was in Afghanistan on his sixth tour of duty when his humvee his a mine. He's survived by his wife of 12 years, Jenny, and their three daughters. Jenny and the girls were at the soccer game cheering on the Cheyenne Sting. Aliza Schwartz, Matthew and Jenny's oldest daughter, is on the team. In honor of the late airman, the team's set up a memorial scholarship meant to help soccer players and their families cover playing costs.
