R.I.P. Al Matthews, AKA Sgt. Apone

R.I.P. Al Matthews, who had a small but memorable role as Sgt. Apone in one of my all-time favorite movies, ALIENS.

Matthews was a Sargent in real life as well, and served in the Vietmam War.

"Another glorious day in the corps! A day in the Marine Corps is like a day on the farm. Every meal's a banquet! Every paycheck a fortune! Every formation a parade! I love the corps!"
