Lance Cpl. Matthew J. Rodgers, currently a rifleman with Company C., Battalion Landing Team 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, shows a picture of himself (center right) next to Caleb Getscher (center left) upon their arrival to Afghanistan in March, 2011. For his accomplishments and sacrifices while deployed, the mayor of Rodgers’ hometown of Gaithersburg, Md., issued a proclamation making Nov. 19, “Matthew Rodgers Day.” The honor of having a namesake day in his hometown reminds Rodgers of the continued courage of his long-time friend, Getscher, who was severely wounded by an improvised explosive device, and the love of his family.
