SSG Matt Pucino Funeral with full Military Honors at Arlington National Cemetery
FYI - SSG Matt Pucino Funeral with full Military Honors at Arlington National Cemetery will be Friday December 11, 2009 at 0900hours.
SSG Pucino was a former member of B Company. Myself, the Company Sergeant Major and a few others from the unit plan to be there. We will be in Class A uniform is appropriate. His unit is deployed, and thus most can't be there.
20th SFGA FSG will provide specific information on location within Arlington once it is available. No visitation with the family is planned or expected at
Arlington. The burial is open to all who wish to attend with the exception
of media per request of the family. Spouse is still planning to attend burial at Arlington.

Arlington
It was a beautiful ceremony; on a cold, clear morning on that hallowed ground. The Old Guard did the Army proud and the SF Regiment was well represented. It was heart warming to once again stand among brothers; it has been far too long. His mother will be in my prayers for a long time to come. Rest in Peace Soldier.

SSG Matt Pucino Ceremony
I agee, It was great to see so much support among the community. The Old Guard was impressive and did a professional job. My wife said it was an experience that she will always remember. Matt will be missed, but he will never be forgotten.

RIP SSG Matthew Pucino
http://news.soc.mil/releases/News%20...091124-03.html
FORT BRAGG, N.C. (USASOC News Service, Nov 23, 2009) — A U.S. Army Special Forces National Guard Soldier was killed Nov. 23 as a result of an improvised explosive device strike to his all-terrain vehicle, while conducting a combat patrol in the vicinity of Pashay Kala, Afghanistan.
Staff Sgt. Matthew A. Pucino, 34, was fatally wounded when he encountered an IED in the course of conducting a routine patrol. He was a Special Forces Operational Detachment-Alpha intelligence sergeant assigned to, Company B, 2nd Battalion, 20th Special Forces Group (Airborne) out of Glen Arm, Md.
Pucino is survived by his parents Albert and Kathryn Pucino of Orlando Fla., and sisters Lisa Haglof of Sagamore, Mass. and Melissa Pucino, Plymouth, Mass.
I was fortunate enough to meet Matt this past January during a train up for a contract. He came to Fayetteville right after he returned from Iraq and spoke with us about the challenges we were facing down range and what to expect. When I got into country, everyone I encountered there (both fellow contractors and Soldiers) had nothing but great things to say about Matt and his work ethic. The little I talked with Matt, you could easily sense his determination to win this important battle. The man had done the job to the best of his ability, in and out of uniform. He will truly be missed. He was a real warrior.
