BATAVIA, Ohio — Nearly 30,000 pictures of Matt Maupin are circulating around Iraq, a loving effort by his parents to locate the only U.S. soldier still listed as missing since his capture two years ago.

It's truly amazing that there is only 1 MIA in three years in Iraq.

Extra prayers for Matt. Saw his parents on TV and it just broke my heart.

No, we won't forget him. What sweet people his parents are! In the middle of their grief and anxiety, they still remember to thank the troops for defending our freedom. There are no greater Americans.

That just tore at my heart.
