I don't like to post and run but I have to leave and will be back in a couple of hours to answer any questions I can.
Remember Matt and his family during the Christmas season and always.
He belongs to all of us.

I live in Clermont County, and I have never seen anything like the outpouring of love and patriotism that has stemmed from Matt Maupin's capture/disappearance. Mr. and Mrs. Maupin are unwavering in their perseverance for Matt's and our soldiers' cause. I admire them greatly and pray everyday for Matt's safe return.
Thank you, Graybeard, for remembering Matt.
I watched nearly all of President Bush's press conference this morning and did not hear him say, "We're doing all we can to find Matt Maupin." Did I miss it?
Tearful prayers for this family.
Thank you for keeping Matt on our minds, Graybeard.
Prayers for his return. His family must be in agony waiting for the call, and I pray they soon can find some peace.

This makes me cry. I am picking up my son from Camp Pendleton on Wednesday. He will get to spend Christmas with us. After that, we don't know. May God bless these wonderful young men and women who protect all of us.
In footage that was not aired, the tape showed the man being shot in the back of the head.
Anyone who still believes the tripe about the fair and humane treatment given to terrorist prisoners is aimed at assuring our people are treated the same should be disabused of this quaint notion by now.
Dang blurry monitor!! I'm praying Matt comes home, and soon. These people have endured enough, but are bearing up well. I believe God is Blessing them, since they are giving of themselves for others.
Prayers for Matt and his family!

It's hard enough spending Christmas without a son whom you know is alive and well and in harm's way, but this................unthinkable pain.
My intense and fervent prayers for Matt and his family during these dark and difficult days. May God wrap His loving arms around them every moment of every day!
Thank you so much for this thread, Graybeard. I prayed for him so much when he was captured--and it's important to keep doing so.
I cannot imagine the pain and suffering his parents are feeling right now.
Bartonville, that's right outside of Peoria where my hubby's unit, the 106th AVN(Chinooks)...they are now home from Iraq.... This poor family, I just don't know how they do it....I don't think I could be so courageous...prayers for Matt and his family.
Prayers for Matt and his family. God bless and keep them!
Praying for Matt's safety and his family's comfort!
Thanks for posting this about the Maupins. I can't even imagine how they must make it through each day!
Prayers for all our service men and women!
P.S. I love President Bush's joke about Rip Van Winkle. Sometimes a little humor can relieve a big burden, if only for a short while.
Adding my voice to the prayer warriors in prayer for Matt and his loved ones.
