Another hero has gone to a better place. Retired Marine Brig. Gen. Bruce J. Matheson (standing seventh from the right) died Thursday of lung cancer and a heart attack. A member of the famed Black Sheep Squadron in World War II, Gen. Matheson flew a F3D Skyknight in Korea, and had about 400 missions flying Huey's in Vietnam. Gen. Matheson received three Legions of Merit, three Distinguished Flying Crosses, more than 30 Air Medals and a Purple Heart.
