Though "This We'll Defend" has been the U.S. Army's motto since its founding in 1775, for Army Col. Matthew Rivera it also holds a personal significance, representing three generations of service to the U.S. Army.

Rivera currently serves as the deputy director for Network Integration at Defense Logistics Agency Distribution.
