| May the presence of the Holy Spirit comfort you at your loss. May the presence of we, your brothers and sisters, comfort you as well. Words cannot express the gratitude, grief, pride and a thousand other feelings in my gut at this time. God bless you. |

Thank you, Staff Sgt. Keith Matthew Maupin
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Keith, his family and friends. May God help comfort you as he holds your son in his loving arms. He has made a great sacrifice for us all so we can go on about our every day living here in the land of the free, we call home. My heart aches just as it did when we lost our son (Greg) on 11-09-06. Although I never met Keith, I am proud to call him son.
Thank you and God bless you Keith.

My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Matt Maupin. I cannot begin to imagine what you have been going through during this terrible ordeal. I have been wearing Matt's POW/MIA bracelet since they became available after he was listed as MIA. We knew through TV that he was a POW... and we now know that his captors were nothing more than murders.
I have kept Matt's name alive and had hoped for a positive conclusion to his capture. I pray that you can find some peace in knowing that Matt is home and can now receive proper respect from a greatful American people. Thank you Matt for your service, we mourn your sacrifice along side your family.
I would be happy to send his bracelet to the family should the wish to have it.
God Bless you all, and God Bless Matt... a True American Hero.

| This american hero will never be forgotten buy all that knew him and those of us that wished we did. I have followed any progress that there was about SSG Maupin, the info was slow coming but I was on his web site often. Two years ago I was able to get a dog tag at Rolling Thunder , D.C. with Matt's name on it and used it as a daily reminder of what Matt had done for us. He was dully mentioned in D.C. I wish his family and friends all the heartfelt condolences that one man can give. |

| I've been to the April 9th vigil in Bartonville, Ill. with the 724th. It is a very moving day. I understand that plans for this year are still on except that this year will now be a memorial. It will be an honor to be apart of that day. My prayers go out to the family. May God comfort you during these days. Thank you for all you've done through the Yellow Ribbon Support Center. My prayers also go out to the 724th, thank you for your sacrifical service. |

I Remember You
When I walk into my church,
free and without fear,
I remember you.
When I see children playing in the school yard,
girls and boys of all kinds,
I remember you.
When I see families working together,
regardless of religion or nationality,
I remember you.
When I go to sleep
without worry for my family's safety,
I remember you.
When I see our flag waving in front of my home,
and when I can salute that flag without fear of
reprisal,
I remember you.
When I remember you,
I think of the sacrifices you made so I could
have these things.
I think of your commitment and your service
beyond mere duty.
I think of all that you have given
so that I and those whom I love can be free.
When I pray at night and give thanks
for the blessings God has given,
I remember you.

I know your life On earth was troubled And only you could know the pain You weren't afraid to face the devil You were no stranger to the rain
Go rest high on that mountain Son, you work on earth is done Go to heaven a shoutin' Love for the Father and Son
Oh, how we cried the day you left us We gathered round your grave to grieve I wish I could see the angels faces When they hear your sweet voice sing
Go rest high on that mountain Son, you work on earth is done Go to heaven a shoutin' Love for the Father and Son -Vince Gill |
