MILWAUKEE -- One of the persons who asked a question during Tuesday's CNN Town Hall at the Riverside Theater in Milwaukee is Tim Matson, father of Jordan Matson. Matson addressed his question about toppling ISIS and quelling terrorism to Ted Cruz.
FOX6's Ben Handelman spoke at length with Tim Matson and his son, Jordan back in February. Jordan talked about his experiences on the battlefield, how he had several close calls while serving with the Kurds against ISIS, and explaining why he risked his life to fight in a war with a foreign militia.
From the day he was born, Jordan Matson says he always looked up to his father. Tim Matson knows fighting in the Middle East well. A 30-year veteran of the United States Army, he served two tours in Afghanistan.
