Thank you all for your kind words and prayers. He was well respected as a man and a SEAL. An unconditionally loving husband, son, brother and friend that will truely be missed by all who knew him. Sincerely, Cindy Oji Axelson
If my boys grow up to be half the man Matt and his teammates were/are then I will consider myself lucky. Hope the wives/girlfriends can find peace in their loss. From a grateful American Semper Fi
As a longtime A-10 pilot I can only say I would have given all to be there that day and possibly help these boys and the many more that followed. God Bless you all.
Thanks, Matt. You and your team are great role models for kids like me. I am only 13, but am hoping and training to become a Navy SEAL just like you and your team. You and your team inspired me to train to become a SEAL. You and your team gave up everything to save our country and freedom., and that means a lot to me. I want to model my life after you. I have enormous respect for you and SEAL team 10. RIP and God bless you, a true American hero.
Matt thanks for being such an inspiration to me and many others. RIP man. Thanks for your great courage in the fight of your life. You will never be forgotten man. Thanks for being such an awesome PATRIOT and HERO to the USA!!! OOH RAH from a MARINE
The One is alive today and telling the story of your heoism because of the sacrifice of you and your brothers, Danny and Michael. Your life was not wasted and your memory lives on as an example for others to follow. Rest in Peace and know that you will never be forgotten by those that understand and truly appreciate the price you paid for us.
The sacrifice men make for this country is incredible. Willing to lay down their lives for thousands they have never met. In my mind, there is no place more honorable to die than on the battlefield. I do not wish to die, but my dream is to become one of those men, willing to pay the ultimate sacrifice. Hooyah.
Cindy, I am so sorry for your loss and hope your life is again happy. I just finished reading "Lone Survivor" and have such respect for all of these men. They do what most of us could never do. God bless all of our military and their families.
It looks like he had a wonderful wife. She is always smiling and touching matt. I wish to GOD we would just get out of Afghanistan because the sad thing is we cannot change that culture. No amount of SF soldiers can turn back the hands of time. They will never like howard stern and rap music, They will never shop at wal-mart or accept the fact that we can teach them how to grow food. R.I.P. Matt and to all others who gave their lives for what they believed was just. Condolences to his wife.
Axe would have been my uncle in-law. I wish I got to know this man. I've only heard so little about him by his brother Jeff. I think me and Matt would have got along. You will be missed.
Rest in peace and thank you for your selfless service. -PFC Art Axelson, 328th MP CO & former Navy -SGT Jay Axelson, 501st, Ft. Richardson, AK While of no known relation, my brother and I are proud to share a name forever linked to sacrifce and bravery. May GOD watch over your wife and family as you forever rest in peace.
Mrs. Axelson, I am a 37 year old man, a vet, a father of two boys....I just finished Marcus' book. It's stories like these that people need to hear, to remind them of the cause these guys were fighting for on that fateful day. As I wipe my tears....I also am thankful for their service & sacrifice and your sacrifice as well. My prayers go out to you. Rest In Peace My Fallen Brothers!
What a beautiful couple. Through the video, it's so clear how happy you were together, and how deeply you were in-love. I can't begin to understand how you go on without your best friend. You must be a very strong woman. I thank you for your husband's dedication to our freedoms and way of life. Thank you for sharing this little window into your personal life. It encourages/reminds me not to take for granted those closest to my heart.
I just finished Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell...gut wrenching and extremely depressing to read but when you discover what sort of men they were and what sort of person Cindy married, you cant help but respect the guy..they were and are very very special characters and gave their lives for our freedom and the right to life a good life.
God bless you Mrs. Axelson for your loss and pain. Matt paid the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Matt was a great Navy SEAL. He continued to fight after all his injuries, when most would quit, or surrender.
You will never be forgotten. I have a friend that just graduated as a SEAL. And it's stories like this that pushed him through his training. If it wasn't for men like you, he wouldn't have gotten to where he is. We need more men like this in the world. God bless and R.I.P.
Mrs. Axelson, I don't know what to say to express how moved I am by Matt's fight, will, selfless sacrifice for my family and I. I am a 36 year old grown man, and I am speechless. There just aren't any words that can express the amount of gratitude that I have for you, Matt, his parents, and his teammates. Truly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you!
After reading the book I have immense respect for team 10. They fought knowing they were clearly outnumbered and showed real courage. Rest in Peace Danny,Mikey,and Axel.
A wonderfully sensitive tribute to a hero. It's clear to see how devoted they were to one another, and I am so sorry you lost him. An exceptional man, husband and son. God Bless you all.
I just finished this book and it really took the wind out of my sail. Seeing these pictures really hit hard. I am so, sorry for your loss. Know that he is in heaven and you will be reunited. For now you will have a guardian angel. These men and their families are true heros! God Bless
I don't think anyone could pay higher tribute to Matt Axelson than Marcus Luttrell did in the aforementioned book "Lone Survivor." That being said, this short comment is in tribute to the life of Matt Axelson and the ultimate sacrifice he gave for his country, the USA. The lives of Matt and all other US military men and women lost fighting for the freedoms we enjoy here (and too often take for granted) will never be forgotten. My condolences go out to the family and friends of Matt. R.I.P.
This video breaks my heart. I know exactly what it feels like to be in the military and be away from the one you love. Military relationships are always so god damn hard. Through all the darkness and pain that comes with serving, sometimes the only thing that keeps you sane is knowing that person back home is waiting for you and still loves you.
Words can not express my sympathy and gratefullness to you and for your husband. I just read Marcus Luttrel's book, it's good to know that their are still true Hero's out there doing the work that many in this Great Country could not even comprehend much less attempt to emulate. My prayers are with you.
Dear Cindy, Watching this video showed how much it hurts to lose some one. I have served two years in the marine crop, E.O.D. I've work with navy seal before these men are true warriors with hearts of gold. For me I've lost three good friend over in Iraq everyday I still see there faces every time I good to sleep. Your husband must be a very sweet person but don't forget he's always in your heart and all of ours. If I was on a ops with your husband I would lay down my life him.
How do you thank a man who went though BUDS training to become a SEAL and then die in a heroic battle where his team was outnumbered 32 to 1 (Think about those odds, that was 150 Taliban against 4 SEALS). You thank them by NEVER FORGETTING their story and sacrifice for our country!!!! That four man SEAL team proved something to the Taliban and Al Queda. Even if our SEALs are outnumber with a 32 to 1 advantage....The enemy still has to worry about being taken out. God Bless our Navy SEALs!!!
It's very sad and unfortunate that these bravest warriors lost their own lives for a very simple mistake, giving those people that betrayed them another chance to lived. Thank you all for the sacrifices...
A poem from Colleen Hitchcock Ascension And if I go, while you're still here... Know that I live on, vibrating to a different measure behind a thin veil you cannot see through. You will not see me, so you must have faith. I wait for the time when we can soar together again, both aware of each other. Until then, live your life to its fullest. And when you need me, Just whisper my name in your heart, ...I will be there.
"...It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us-that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion-that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain-that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom-and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." Abraham Lincoln - Gettysburg Address
This man was the embodiment of true courage to go into the jaws of the enemy like he did and the selflessness he showed proven by his dying words that were dedicated to his wife Cindy are simply beyond heroic. He is an inspiration to all men like myself who can only dream to be a fraction of the man he was. God bless your soul Matt and comfort those who loved you.
I just finished Lone Survivor. I definitely feel as if leaving a youtube comment to express my deep appreciation for this amazing hero isn't enough, but I hope it is for now. Mr. Axelson, I'm glad your bud Marcus made it out alive to share your story. I'm forever in debt to you and the rest of SEAL Team 10. God bless
I am a navy vet! I just finished the book LONE SURVIVOR and was moved so much by the valor and courage of these young warriors.I thank God every day for them and most of all I thank God for men like Matt.Hooyah! Matt we will never forget you Bro'
Your story, your effort, your will and your heart are an inspiration to us all. I will make sure that my son knows about each and everyone of you, the value of what you did, and most importantly...why you did it!! In life and in death, you will never be alone!
What can I say that has not been posted...I more than second the accolades, the prayers, the respect. I am in awe of men like this and the families that suffer in their absence. Thanks from a grateful American.
Last week.... while shopping with my wife, this song came on. All that I could think of was Matt, Cindy, Marcus, Danny, Mike, those who died attempting to respond as back up, my own friends lost down range, my brother police officers lost, all war fighters, my love for my wife.... my pride in my country. Thank you Mathew and Mathews family from another stranger whohas been touched by the lives of others.
Let it be said that these men are truly Americans unsung heroes, It is rare to glimpse the dedication, resolve and skill of these truly amazing soldiers, husbands and fathers. Blessed are those who knew them and associated with them and blessed are we to hear of his valiant effort and love for our country. He is O.K. let this motivate all of us to improve something about ourselves.
May God bless you Matt, I pray that you and your fallen brothers forever rest in the arms of the Eternal Father. Cindy, our prayers are with you. May we never forget the brave men and women like Matt, Mikey, and Danny who gave it all up for their comrades and also for us. If I can become even half the man that Matthew Axelson was, I will feel like I am a superhero. Hooyah brother, I'll see you in Heaven one day and it will be the utmost honor to shake your hand.
Words cannot describe. After reading this book which kept me interested and hanging on every word. I could vividly picture his firefight with the taliban, I just thank my lucky stars and God Almighty that Rough Men such as him stand ready in the night to fight injustices with such heroism, bravery, and utter patriotism. He never stopped, and neither will I. I serve in the Air Force, I work in Logistics and ship supplies to the troops...we are not beaten, thank you Ax, thank God for your life.:)
Marcus Luttrell through the Grace of God, miraculously survived (providence) to tell the story that American needs to hear and lets all pray that American understands that men like Axe is why America exits, why Freedom exist, we sleep under a blanket of security and that my friend is because of heroes like Axe. LOL Mark Hughes
HOOYAH remember all the SEALs who died on Operation Red Wing remember SPARTON 01 Lt Michael Murphy Gunners mate 2nd class Danny Dietz Sonar tech. 2nd class Matt Axelson Helmsmate 2nd class Macus Cuttrell was the only survivor of Operation Red Wing HOOYAH
@PlsB9s2Me If God doesn't exist, then Marcus Luttrell wouldn't have been able to survive and tell the stories of true American heroes. God bless Matt, his fellow SEALs, and everyone else fighting for our nation.
I read Lone Survivor.............Axe, Danny, Lt. Murphy........all the men of SEAL team 10, 160th SOAR and everyone serving.........THANK YOU! You are all hero's Marcus Luttrell thanks for telling the story.
Cindy, I am sorry for your loss. Matthew Gene Axelson is a great man and and an incredible warrior. He paid the ultimate price for my freedom. We, this country, owe him our greatest respect. God bless you.
CINDY- i AM SURE YOU KNOW IT, BUT WE ARE ALL THINKING OF YOU, MATT THE HERO, AND WHAT HE AND OUR OTHER PATRIOTS DO THAT NO ONE ELSE CAN, JUST SO THE REST, CAN BE FREE. GOD BLESS, BE SAFE, M GRACE
i am sad for the loss of this man but not based on the fact he was in the military....cause he seems like a man who was good...in his eyes and to see this love they had shattered.....
I'm so sorry Cindy! Men like your husband are a special breed. He died doing what he loved at the time. I always think of you guys when I hear this song...TFR '93
Go spread the word and tell the passersby that in this little world men knew how to die. Rest in Peace Matt you will not be forgotten, goodluck and stay strong Cindy...
@vizcaya7 You're exactly right. I read Marcus Lutrell's book about the events of 6/28/05. Those men are to be commended for making the ultimate sacrifice.
Thank you all for your kind words and prayers. He was well respected as a man and a SEAL. An unconditionally loving husband, son, brother and friend that will truely be missed by all who knew him.

Thank you.
i salute you matt you are a hero....
Matt Axelson's last words to Marcus: "Tell Cindy I love her."
If my boys grow up to be half the man Matt and his teammates were/are then I will consider myself lucky. Hope the wives/girlfriends can find peace in their loss.

you are a FREAKING LEGEND and HERO... You had more courage in your pinky toe than many cities have combined. 2 words - THANK YOU.

And if I go,
while you're still here...
Know that I live on,
vibrating to a different measure
behind a thin veil you cannot see through.
You will not see me,
so you must have faith.
I wait for the time when we can soar together again,
both aware of each other.
Until then, live your life to its fullest.
And when you need me,
Just whisper my name in your heart,
...I will be there.
Absolutely beautiful video.
Thank you sir for your service to this Country.
Rest in Peace.
