To A Nation of Patriots:

Our Family wants to sincerely express our gratitude and appreciation for all your support through this very challenging time on our spirits. My son, PFC Matt Maupin, has the Lord's attention as each of you across this nation, across this world, share prayer in his safety and health.

Each day that passes, I believe, draws us closer to resolution as I see yellow ribbons and am reminded of the compassion and humanity of United States citizens."Believe in Matt, believe in the U.S. military, believe in prayer," I have found myself saying each time his safety crosses my heart. So for those of you who have a loved one, a friend, a spouse, a child, a neighbor in the U.S. military, I encourage you to believe in them as I do in my son. Freedom is not free-but love lasts forever.

Tie a yellow ribbon, bow your head in silence, take a moment to reflect on the special times with your loved ones in the armed forces. Together we all can believe LOVE NEVER LOSES ITS WAY HOME!

Sincerely,

Carolyn Maupin
