Soldiers Name: PFC Matt Maupin

Message: When stuff like this hits close to home, it starts to make you think about life in general. It makes you think about how one small community can come together to support one family, and how the whole world is right behind keeping our faith strong. It makes, what we think, big problems seem so small. And big arguments seem so pointless. It makes you think about how your life isn't so bad after all. So, when your feeling down, think of Matt Maupin. Think where he is sitting today. Then thank God for where you're at, and pray that Matt will soon be able to come home to join us.

My thoughts and prayers go out to PFC Matt Maupin and his family.

Having served in Desert Storm I know keeping your spirits high can be hard, expecially when you don't even understand why you are still there...Everyone that has served in war for our country are considered hero's, however a true hero is someone like you!!! Welcome Home!!! (I say this because you are coming home & you won't read these until you get home & I hope you have a sigh of relief and a smile on your face...)

I'm going to go buy some yellow ribbon and wrap around my trees out front with Keith Matthew Maupin's name on them..to show my pride and respect for a TRUE HERO!!! PLEASE EVERYONE JOIN ME!!!!

Soldiers Name: Matt Maupin

Message: To the Maupin Family:

Our thoughts and prayers are all we can give to you, god only knows from one mom to another I would gladly pick him up and put him back into your arms if that was possible, we just have to pray that god will. We have seen so many of these young men grow up, and now to know they fight for our freedom is just incredible. Any of these great hero's (and in my opinion) anyone who can and will serve in the military to fight for what is right is a true HERO. It tears us up inside to watch all the vigils, but also makes you so proud to know so many of these young men! There is never enough time in ones day to thank each and everyone of these brave hero's, but we make time for other things in our lives. We know things happen and so many have lost their lives, but why are we not stopping and realizing what the armed forces are doing and paying more attention, and the sad part of this is just because, it doesn't hit home. It's always someone elses son, brother, dad, mom and or spouse. IT'S TIME WE AS AMERICANS STOP AND THINK, AND PRAY FOR THEM ALL, NOT IN A TIME OF NEED BUT ALWAYS KEEP THEM IN YOUR HEARTS AND PRAYERS. Light their way home, and please remember all those that have been here and there, when you see them give them a pat on the back, or a smile god only knows they need one. Once again, our thoughts and prayers are with you and all your families too.

Message: MY FELLOW SOLDIER PFC MAUPIN;

As I write you today to add to the courage you already process; I say BE STRONG IN YOUR FAITH...BE STRONG IN YOUR CONVICTION...KEEP YOUR EYES TO THE SKY, FOR THE LORD OUR SAVIOUR WILL SHINE HIS BLESSING DOWN ON YOU. I TOO HAVE FACE DANGER AND OBSTICALS DURING THIS DEPLOYMENT BUT I SAY TO YOU STAY STRONG THAT HELP IS ON THE WAY AND REMEMBER THE MOTTO: NO SOLDIER IS EVER FORGOTTEN...WE WILL GET YOU OUT AND AS A FIRST SERGEANT KNOW THAT IT IS OK TO BE AFRAID, BECAUSE THAT IS THE FORCE THAT WILL KEEP YOU ON YOUR TOES AND REMEMBER YOUR TRAINING, AND WHEN EVER POSSIBLE PERFORM IT. YOU ARE ALREADY A HERO IN MY EYES"""""""""I SALUTE YOU FOR THE CAUSE""""""""" STAY STRONG MY BROTHER...HELP IS COMING YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN...AND TO THE FAMILY I SAY...

We the soldiers that are fighting this war..sometimes don't realize what our families go through until we are put in a situation such as this...and then it hits us, what the word FAMILY really means..it the little things and the big things that we take for granted...but I say to you family..STAY STRONG AND REMAIN STRONG because we as soldiers in a time like this have only the hope of our FAMILIES and our belief to hold onto. and we know that our families and the world's prayers are the only thing that will bring us through this """TEST""" and if we truly believe and trust in the work of the Lord, only then will we find PEACE and know that the Lord will deliver us from this.

I ONLY WISH I CAN BE A PART OF PFC MAUPIN'S RESCUE..GOD BLESS AND FAMILY YOU KEEP HOLDING ON...DON'T GIVE UP THE FAITH...GOD IS GOOD

MY PRAYER:

LORD, MY SAVIOR, AND TO YOUR SON JESUS CHRIST,

I COME BEFORE YOU TO ASK YOU FOR A FAVOR IN PRAYER, BECAUSE YOU SAID I COULD WHEN EVER I NEEDED YOU, SO LORD, I'M HERE NOW ASKING IN BEHALF OF PFC MAUPIN AND HIS FAMILY

SIGN WITH LOVE AND HOPE AND LORD PLEASE LIFT PFC MAUPIN UP IN PRAYER, TAKE HIM INTO YOUR BOSSDOM AND COVER HIM WITH YOUR PROTECTING ARMS OF GLORY UNTIL ONE DAY HE IS UNITED BACK WITH HIS FAMILY, SO THAT HE CAN FEEL THE LOVE THEY HAVE FOR HIM.

Soldiers Name: PFC Matt Maupin

Message: For Matt and his family,

I have known Matt since he enlisted in the Army Reserves. Prior to his leaving for Basic Training my job was to train Matt to get ready to go. I had so much fun with this amazing young man. He tended to get the answers wrong to my questions so he became quite good at doing push-ups in cadence. When Matt returned from BCT and AIT (his job school) he had truly developed into a top notch soldier. Matt always did what he was told without question and was a model soldier. Matt hated driving back and forth to Dayton for his drill weekend so I always tried to get him a room locally and would take him out Saturday nights for wings. This past summer Matt and I went to our 2-week Annual Training at Camp Perry Ohio together. We created many memories driving up together. At one point I accidentally spit on Matt and he remarked 'damm it I can't do anything, you are my Sergeant!' I also let our map blow out of the car on the way home and we had to call his mom (thanks Mrs. Maupin) for directions home. PFC Maupin became more to me than my soldier, I think of him as my little brother. When he received his Fed-EX letter telling him he was getting deployed he called me with so many questions. I hated the fact I was not deploying with Matt but I knew he would be an asset to his new unit. After hearing of his status and seeing him on the news I pray for Matt everyday. I am a teacher at Sinclair Community College and wear my yellow ribbon, keep Matt's picture nearby, and ask all my students to pray for him. Hopefully for those of you who know Matt or even don't know him this gives you a bit of insight into this soldiers life. Please pray for Matt and all of the other soldiers overseas. Thank you, SGT Chastity Sterling

Message: The students in my high school special education English class wrote letters of support and encouragement to you Matt, and your family. I want you to know Matt that we are proud of you and know that Jesus is with you. I am so encouraged that you attend a wonderful church and heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ. God is His word reminds us that He is our Father and we are His children through Jesus Christ. I personally pray that you will draw on strength from Jesus, knowing He will hear your plea. Your capture did not surprise God and he allowed it for a purpose. One purpose I have already seen is that our county and even our country our united in our prayers on your behalf. Also, the Gospel of Jesus Christ is going forward in a mighty way.

God Bless, Tim
