Matthew Pappas

by Sarah from Reeds Spring

A hero is a person that does something courageous enough that other people won’t do. These words describe my brother Matthew Pappas, a real hero to me. I know he’s a hero to a lot of other people because he was in the marines and he fought for our country. He is very strong because he could have gotten radiation poisoning from a country he has visited, I’m glad he didn’t. He has been to more than 15 countries! I admire him for that and I plan on doing that! But, he has been in a plane for more than 31 times! Because when my dad had a travel job, even if Matt was a baby, he always took him with him.
