Over the past year thousands of people have sent in their thoughts prayers and well wishes. These people have made this site the success that it is. I would like to thank everyone for letting the service men and woman know how much they mean to us. Please take some time and read through the mesages. I would suggest getting a cup of coffee and clearing the schedule. Oh, and a box of tissues might come in handy too.

Message: Matt,

I am a civilian working for the Navy in San Diego, CA. I was born and raised in Cincinnati. I have family in Batavia and when I heard on the NBS 6 p.m. news that you were captured, I immediately began praying for divine protection for you and that God would give your family 'His Peace' in the midst of the storm. I understand that you go to Glen Este Baptist Church and glad to hear you too are a Christian. Your faith will get you through this.

I also sent email to all my friends asking them to pray for you too especially since this now hits close to home (or where I consider home).

God Bless

Message: Hello! I didn't know you personally but I do want you to know that I am praying everyday for your safe return home to the U.S.A. My brother-in-law just got home from Iraq about 3 weeks ago, he even said that it is a rough place over there, so I can understand and relate to what you are going through even though he was not held captive like you are right now. Me and my family wish you luck over there as well as hoping you can return home safe very soon. We'll keep praying for you in our prayers. God bless you for what you have done for our country. Come home soon. I am a 2001 graduate of Goshen High School and you probably played against us in football and won, but that is not the point I want to make to you, I want you to know that me and my family are praying for you and I will also put you on our prayer chain at my church, which is the Goshen Church of God. Again, God bless you and hope you get to come home to America and your friends and family very soon. Wer'e all thinking of you!! Good luck over there, I know you will win the fight and come out on top because your'e from America and we are #1!!
