But, there is one thread/topic I hold close to my heart, those regarding SGT. Keith "Matt" Maupin. As I watched the mother who is protesting near the President Bush's ranch, his parents came to mind, so I looked for any news regarding their son. I thought if anyone deserved to be angry and bitter it would be his parents but they have held their had high, I applaud them for that.
Each time I have posted about Matt, I have inquired about a MIA bracelet, I was directed to the military as to why Matt is not considered a MIA or POW. HELLO, than what is he, and because of the status the local places who sell these bracelets say they cannot make them. Blah blah blah.
Just ticked me off. Then, another FREEPER, bentfeather , posted a link where you can obtain this bracelet. I hope you will join with me and our family to purchase a bracelet and to wear it proudly until he returns home. We must show our support.
I am so disgusted with the ongoing Holloway case, to think what might have happened if they same interest were there for the last days of Maupin. I do not think there are any current war correspondents that I can even name and if I could I doubt I would respect them.
Thanks for allowing to get that off my mind. - FMC
With heart in my throat and tears in my eyes, I'd like to bump this thread to the top. Let everyone who reads this remember Matt Maupin and his family. God bless his family for their strength, courage, help and ongoing support of our military and their mission.
Thank you so much for posting this, FMC. God love you too. chena
