The whole country has held its breath along with the family of Matt Maupin, wondering, waiting, only to this sad end. He will always be a hero in our hearts. It is with much sadness and regret that I write these words.
I will be there to stand for both SSG Matt Maupin and his family.

You are truly a Hero in the hearts of so very many people SSG Matt Maupin. We, as a Nation, should feel blessed that God shared you with us... thank you for serving our Country and for protecting our freedom.
To the Maupin Family... my deepest sympathy to all of you. I wonder if you realize how much you have touched people in all corners of America. Your strength seems without end, and I think people see that and feel a special kinship to your entire family. Again, my thoughts and prayers are with you. |

"Let the American youth never forget, that they possess a noble inheritance, bought by the toils, and sufferings, and blood of their ancestors; and capacity, if wisely improved, and faithfully guarded, of transmitting to their latest posterity all the substantial blessings of life, the peaceful enjoyment of liberty, property, religion, and independence."
Joseph Story - 1833
"Dominus Fortissima Turris"
If you do not stand behind our Troops,
Please Feel Free to STAND in Front of Them!
It is difficult to imagine a worthy achievement without having overcome worthy obstacles along the way. Indeed, it is often the conquering of the obstacles that make the achievement so sweet.
To all the Maupin Family, it is with love, respect & honor that we have come to be friends. May God help you during these very hard times. Our Love & Prayers have been with your family now for over 4 years they will not stop now.
All I know to say is: "Trust in the Lord & lean not unto your own understanding & He will direct your way." Both Pat & I wanted a different ending to this story. However, God had other plans. If we can do anything please call us you have our cell & home phones & we will get it done.

Unfortunately I cannot attend the services. The race team I work with will be racing in Concord, NC on the 26th. We will however run with one of the Matt Maupin decals on the car to honor Matt's memory.
We will never forget. The Highlands Motorsports team and driver Wade Day (USAR Pro Cup South Series) offer our condolences to the Maupin family. |

| To my American hero, there is not a day that goes by that I don't see your face. I have your picture tape to my computer screen, your mom gave it to me at a poker run we had for you. Your mission is complete your coming home. I will never forget you as I will alawys keep that picture there to remind me of you. I know your Mom gave that picture to me with a note on back to place this in my bible and say a prayer, but I like to see you every day. God Bless Matt, You are my hero. I prayed that you would come home.

Help needed. Yellow Ribbon Center and support activities
People power is what it's all about. there are many things at the Yellow Ribbon Center that could use some help now as we prepare to welcome Matt home.
Tomorrow (Sunday 4-19) the Crosses and flags will again be placed as a tribute to all of our fallen heroes at the "Helicopter Park" in Union township
(map Clough Pike & Glen Este-Withamsville Rd Cincinnati, OH 45245)
beginning at 10 AM, and it generally take 2-3- hours to set them up correctly.. this is a part of the Funeral procession route for Matt, and has played an important part in the rememberance of all of the fallen in our nation.
If you are riding in the area at the time, fell free to stop by and offer to help.
if you wish to see the flags as they are supposed to be:

Also added help is needed to place yellow ribbons along the proposed route, as well as making more ribbons to be placed along the route.
Yellow Ribbon Center number is (513) 752-4310

Kelly,
As I read the most recent update, PGR assembly point for Apr. 27 (Sunday) is at Yellow Ribbon Support Center and at 10:00AM. This email info of yours states leaving Speedway, Columbus @ 9:45AM. Please advise if 9:45AM is still correct for departure from Columbus Speedway, or if not - what is the new departure time??
Thanks for your help.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

To the Family of SSG Matt Maupin
Please know that you are all in so many thoughts and prayers across our nation as you have been for the past 4 years.
Matt gave to us all so unselfishly, something we will always be eternally grateful for. He gave of himself for our Freedoms.
It takes a rare breed of young man to take on the job our Military do so proudly. Matt was no exception. His ultimate sacrifice will never be forgotten.
We as a nation mourn with you. We cry with you, we stand with you. We share your anguish, we share your sadness, and we share your loss. You are not in this alone.
May God wrap loving angels around you, to guide you and ease your pain at this time of such great sorrow and through the days ahead. God has welcomed Matt into his loving arms, so he too will be watching over you all.
With Deepest Sympathy,
