#1 I mistook him for someone else in another thread on this subject; sorry about that. It's people like him who are true heroes and martyrs - although that word leaves a bad taste these days, and it's of little comfort. He'll be avenged, that's for sure. Did you know him well?

#2 I didn't know him; about ten years between us in age. But (for all it's worth) he was never forgotten; half the trees in the area have yellow ribbons around them and about 3/4ths of the store signs had his name on them.

I dunno what the local reaction will be. There was already a rally for him scheduled for the 5th; I'll be out of town then, but I'll hear what happens from my parents if not from the news.

#3 RC--Sorry to hear about your community's loss. I hope you'll keep us informed about the community's observances and remembrances--I'd trust your eyewitness accounts over the media's sensational sound bites, and I'd trust you to display the solemn respect they lack as well.

God bless SPC Maupin.

#4 RC? Any Moskkks in the area? Maybe they should take a vacation from the call to Islam....

#6 None in the immediate area. There's likely a guard posted around the nearest one, and that's 45 minutes away.

#8 still no news about the "captured" soldier matthew "keith" maupin and it's already the middle of september. what the hell are we doing to find him or his body and bring him home? why has the media forgotten about him? i think he's the only american captive soldier and we cant find him for four (4) months? let's put some pressure on the media to put him back in the news. we owe him that much. ann marcol
