After almost four years, Staff Sergeant Matt Maupin will be coming home. Maupin was listed as missing in action after being captured in Iraq on April 9th, 2004. His remains were found in Iraq yesterday.
Maupin was believed to have been executed by his captors, but the Army was unable to confirm. Those of us in the Cincinnati area, near SSG Maupin's home, have followed the efforts of his parents to locate their son since that time. While we are saddened by the outcome, we know, as his father said yesterday, "they can't hurt him anymore."
Prayers to the Maupin family in hopes that they may now find some small measure of peace in bringing their son home. Prayers that Staff Sergeant Matt Maupin will now rest in peace...
