My sincere condolences to the family and friends of William Mauldin. Welcome Home Sir. Stand down your tour is done.
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And the rain fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.

War is an evil thing; but to submit to the dictation of other states is worse.... Freedom, if we hold fast to it, will ultimately restore our losses, but submission will mean permanent loss of all that we value....

My condolences to the family of this young airman.But at least you can feel the relief of knowing that he lies near his family for eternity.
I have ridden to "The Wall" in DC on a number of occasions to remind our government to not forget the POW- MIAs. Our numbers on those rides approach 450,000. Our government has paid attention and has entered into agreements to allow search and recovery parties to seek the remains of MIAs such as Capt. Mauldin. I am honored to have been an extremely small part of that process. And I would be very honored to accompany him to his final place of rest if asked. |

Welcome home, Captain Mauldin and thank you, Sir. - George
"High Flight"
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long delirious, burning blue,
I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew -
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high untresspassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand and touched the face of God.

To the Family, Friends, and Comrades of CPT Mauldin, please accept my condolences on the loss of CPT Mauldin so many years ago. It's so hard to lose someone dear to you, but it's even harder not really having a finite end, to always wonder. Finally, you have closure and can render Honor to the one you lost long ago. May God Bless you and Comfort you all in this difficult time.
CPT Mauldin, thank you for your service to this Nation, and the Ultimate Sacrifice you made for us. You will not be forgotten.
