Sheila's Sailor - Matt

Matthew M. Flocco, AG2, Second Class Petty Officer
Son of Michael and Sheila Flocco of Brookside Park, Delaware


On September, 11, 2001 the Pentagon attack happened about an hour after the first of two hijacked planes struck the World Trade Center in New York City, taking as one of their victims, Matthew M. Flocco, as reported by The News Journel Local News. Click here to read more.

The article goes on further to report; "Flocco, 21, died when a hijacked jet crashed into the part of the Pentagon where he worked. A Navy weather expert, he was three years into a five-year tour of duty."

Flocco's parents said "he was proud to have been posted at the Pentagon. An admiral hand-picked him for the job after he scored first in his class in meteorology," they said.

Friends have established a memorial fund at Wilmington Trust. Flocco loved baseball, and friends said they hope to use the money to build a baseball field or sponsor Little League activities in his name.

TO HELP Contributions to the Matthew M. Flocco Memorial Fund can be sent care of Wilmington Trust, P.O. Box 15445, Wilmington, 19886-1101, or deposited at any Wilmington Trust branch in Delaware.

Holy Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ, save us Holy Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ, save us;

God Bless America

God bless America
Land that I love
Stand beside her and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above

From the mountains to the prairies
To the oceans white with foam
God bless America My home sweet home
