Las Vegas Soldier Laid To rest

Las Vegas Army Sgt. Matthew Hennigan was laid to rest on Sunday. Hennigan was killed in Afghanistan on June 30th in a firefight.
From the LVRJ: "Family, friends, soldiers, sailors and veterans -- more than 500 in all -- mourned the 20-year-old paratrooper Sunday in a cemetery on Eastern Avenue near Warm Springs Road, not far from where he spent most of his life. He died June 30 after being wounded by machine gun fire during an ambush of his platoon in the Tangi Valley, about 40 miles south of Kabul.
In eulogies given at Palm Mortuary & Cemetery and in interviews last week, soldiers, coaches, relatives and childhood friends spoke highly of the young man who had a beaming smile and a winning attitude that prevailed in his short but meaningful life.
"He led by example. He was brave. He knew personal sacrifice," said Army Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Colt. "He answered the call to serve and I'm sure he believed in what he was doing and who he was doing it with."
