LOUISA, Ky. –
A Lawrence County, Ky., native was among three soldiers killed in a
targeted bombing in Pakistan earlier this week. Matthew Sluss-Tiller,
a 1993 Lawrence County High School graduate, was among three American soldiers
killed in a bomb blast Wednesday outside a school in Pakistan. Three students
also were killed in the blast that apparently targeted the soldiers. "He
was a wonderful kid," said Brenda Thornbury, an
art teacher at the high school in Louisa. "He was one of my students. I
heard about it last night. It's been difficult." "He loved God,"
she said. "He loved his family, and he loved his country.
When he was in high school, all he ever wanted to do was be in the
military." Sluss-Tiller called her last year and
used her as a reference for an overseas mission, she said. "He called me
his school mom," Thornbury said. The military
never called her to talk about her former student, she said. "I knew it
was dangerous," she said. Sluss-Tiller was based
out of Fort Bragg, N.C.
He is survived by his wife, Melissa, and a daughter, Hannah. His
mother, Jane Blankenship , moved to North Carolina to be close to the family.
