A POEM FOR MATT MAUPIN

Dear Matt:

I hope you won't mind
my calling you that.

I've heard so much about you
and I wonder how your parents
can carry on without you

I'm an ArmyMom, that's me;
My son's a soldier

and I know that Freedom is
not free.

You'd be surprised to know
how often you are mentioned
on the net

I just wanted to say hello
and let you know we won't forget

and until the day you make it home,
I'll pray that you know you aren't alone

So, God Bless you, Matt Maupin
as for praying, we aren't stoppin'......

A MESSAGE FROM THE MAUPINS...

"Today is the four month anniversary of the capture of our son Army Specialist Matt Maupin. Although we still have not heard of any current news since Matt's April 9th capture, we have not and will not give up hope for Matt's safe return. We are extremely proud of our son and love him very much. We know that he will return with honor someday. We ask that the public continue to keep Matt and all soldiers in their prayers."
