I know that. I just want people to remember Matt.

Matt is a member of the 724th Transportation Company and the only U.S. soldier MIA/POW in this war. My son was in Iraq with Matt and about 120 other members.

My son came home, Matt did not.

Thank your son for me for serving our country, and he and Matt will be in my prayers.

God bless your son for what he has done for all of us. And Matt is on our prayers every day.

Your son came home to you, Beth's daughter has not come home to her. And...yes, there are a lot of missing people out there that need to be found. If focusing on this case brings attention to that issue it will be great. What makes this case closer for me is that this lived in my community when she was a small child. She and my son are about the same age. I have a daughter who has travelled abroad on many occasions. This hits a little closer for me than it does for you. It has nothing to do with how she looks.

But, I do understand your point to a degree. Missing people need to be found. There is far too much crime in this world, but I feel compelled to focus on this because it is the one that's out there right now. I only hope that people all over the country are learning from this.
