After escaping the World Trade Center on 9/11, Mathew Tully moved with his wife from New York City to upstate New York and opened a law practice – Tully, Rinckey & Associates of Albany. Tully is also a major with the 42nd Infantry Division of the New York Army National Guard, and recently chose to volunteer to deploy to Iraq. He will be stationed in Tikrit.

Tully said that while he’s not happy the country is at war, he will support his fellow soldiers and do his part. His partner will run the law firm in his absence.
