Description: Sgt Matthew Moyer is a Marine Corps Fire Support Man that served with 2nd ANGLICO and 5th Battalion 10th Marine Regiment during his shortened Marine Corps career. A veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF), Moyer was medically retired after sustaining a severe non-combat related back injury in Afghanistan.

For his first duty station, Moyer, was assigned to 2nd ANGLICO as they prepared for their 2006 deployment to Iraq. During that deployment, Moyer's Support Arms Liaison Team (SALT) worked out of Habbaniya before being moved to Ramadi to reinforce American's in the tumultuous city.

Moyer returned to Iraq with 2nd ANGLICO and then was assigned to 5th Battalion 10th Marine Regiment after returning. From there, he deployed to Camp Leatherneck as a member of the Brigade Combat Team fire support section.
