Soldiers Name: Matt Maupin

Message: Dear Matt and Family, As a mother of an Army soldier I can feel what you are going through. All though my son is back in the states it makes it a little easier to sleep at night.My son thwarted a suicied bombing attack on his base in TalAfar in December, an angel was watching over him and he saved himself and the entire base. My family and I have put our yellow ribbon back up and also we have our candles lite as they have been since my son left for basic training, at Ft Benning. Our prayers are with you and your family, and also prayers for Matt's safe retutn. Just believe that there is a guardian angel watching over him, that's what got me through all the long days and nights.

Again, my hopes, thoughts, and prayers are with Matt and yourselves. Sincerely, Tom Maupin.

Soldiers Name: PFC Matt Maupin

Message: I woke up this morning to the news that Thomas Hamill was free, and back in the protection of his fellow Americans. Over, and over again, his family told reporters that it was their faith that brought them through. They trusted God to bring him home. They knew he was in God's hands, and that He was protecting him. I know that today's news gives us all hope that God is protecting Matt as well, and that He will bring him home. Keep the faith. Trust in the Lord. "The Lord is my light and the one who saves me. I fear no one. The Lord protects my life; I am afraid of no one." - Psalm 27:1. "Lord, let me live so people will praise you." -Psalm 143:11.

Message: Matt and family,

I want you to know that I believe in the power of prayer, and you are getting lots of it! I am praying every morning, afternoon and evening for you. I've never met you, but this is something that makes our county all feel like close family.

My 9 yr old son wears a yellow ribbon and has given more yellow ribbons to his teachers. Also we pray for wisdom for the rescue teams, they need God's guidance to lead them to you at just the right time.

God Bless you all! And may you have God's peace.
