To whom it may concern,
I am the first cousin of Charles Harry Mateer. You have his middle name listed as Henry. I thought you should know and hope that you will correct the middle name of my cousin. If you need any proof, please feel free to contact me at my email address. Remembering my dear cousin on this Memorial Day, May 29, 2023... NEVER forgotten. Here is a picture of Charles and his graduation and other items that I have in my guest room. Charles was dearly loved.

Thanks for the update, i've updated the above record accordingly to correct middle name.

If it is possible please forward my email address and this message to Jodyblonde. Our office is searching for records of 1LT Charles Mateer’s commissioning as an Army Officer in 1958. Our office in the Pentagon is working to properly acknowledge his Vietnam service. Contact me @harold.d.henderson3.civ@army.mil or 703-695-5388, thanks.
