Remembering a Fan on 9/11
Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Site News at 5:56am on Sunday, Sep 11th, 2011You don't need to be reminded that September 11 is the anniversary of the most horrific attacks on American soil. As you are reflecting on the day in whichever manner you deem necessary, I'd like to mention a Dave Matthews Band fan who lost his life that day.
U.S. Navy Aerographer's mate second class Matthew Flocco worked at the Pentagon doing weather-related services. He was facilitating the U.S. Navy's planes after the attacks in New York when an airliner slammed into The Pentagon, terribly close to his desk. Matthew did not survive.
His name was known among the message boards at the time, he was a regular poster on the old DMBML.com site. Flocco was a big DMB fan; in fact, Tuesday September 11 was not a regular work day for he, he flipped his schedule to facilitate some DMB shows.
Matthew's father Michael facilitated in the rebuilding of The Pentagon; you can watch his story here (there are 3 parts). Remember the victims. Remember Matthew Flocco.
