Some of his belongings were found in a bag which held the contents of a Catholic missal, its delicate pages damaged by exposure to the rains, a check for $43 protected in a plastic sleeve, and a plaid flannel shirt that Matt often wore.
He is buried in Arlington National Cemetery, and honored with a star on the CIA Memorial Wall.
