The Medal of Honor was presented to his parents on March 29, 1954, by Secretary of the Navy Robert B. Anderson. The Pentagon ceremony also included presentation of posthumous Medals of Honor to the families of Marine Sgt. James E. Johnson and Marine Cpl. Lee H. Phillips also killed in Korea.

One month later, on March 28, 1953, Matthews, a rifle platoon squad leader, was killed in action when he single-handedly attacked under fire with his rifle a Chinese three-man machine gun team position on top of a hill outpost named "Vegas" in North Korea.
After his death, Sgt. Mathew's body was escorted to the United States in May 1953, by his brother, who had enlisted in the United States Navy. Sgt. Matthews was buried in Glen Haven Cemetery, San Fernando, California.
