Sergeant Matthew Abate was a scout sniper who spent much of his time in support of Kilo Company. Sergeant James Finney, 25 served with Abate and Sangan. He had the same reaction as many of the Marines in the battalion: How do we win this war without him? As you're driving across country, how is your perspective changing? I found a newspaper article about Abate said, "No one was cooler than Abate"
