If a bracelet is not a viable method, then just keep posting threads to let everyone know this young man and his family need to remain in our hearts and prayers.

*Thank you* both for keeping interest in this brave young man's plight alive.

I like your style and I think it is an excellent idea. Perhaps I do have the right stuff to push for someone to take a risk to make the braclets, but, I have to think there is someone who knows someone that might say, this fine soldiers deserves to be remembered as all our previous military have been remembered when they go MIA/POW.

Until, we will keep up the good fight for their family and offer prayers and hope that he knows he is NEVER forgotten.

Your comment about a POW/MIA bracelet struck a chord. I wore this man's bracelet over thirty years ago:

I found out a few years ago that he was finally laid to rest - in 1990, I believe. It took over twenty years for his family to have closure.

I can't imagine going through that. And, if it was my child, I wouldn't want him to be forgotten.

I appreciate the ping, thank you. I'm so glad your son came home for Thanksgiving, God bless him.

Prayers for Matt and his family, may God see his safe return to his loved ones, give them all strength and comfort.

God Bless our Troops and America.

I've gotten mail requesting an address for the Maupins and can't find a street address.

Batavia, Ohio is a small town and mail would most likely get to them if addressed to:

Keith & Carolyn Maupin
Batavia, Ohio 45103
