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

From day one the Holloway case just stuck in my craw. I refused to watch it on the news and avoided conversations about it. Yes, it is tragic, but it was of her own choice and free will that she went to the island. SPC Maupin did not have that choice, he was following the orders of his commander-in-chief in a war that is going to prove to be a turning point in world history. The MSM has avoided him like a hot potato and I think it is because he is the boy next door who would arouse sympathy for him and thus support for the war effort.

Just my little rant for the morning (no coffee yet).
