April 08, 2007
Two years ago, Matt Maupin was a typical American young man.
He worked at Sam's Club.
He was attending college, majoring in nutritional science.
He worked out at Powerhouse Gym.
He had a dog named Fibi.
He drove a Mustang.
And in February, 2004, he was deployed to Iraq with the 724th Transportation Company.
Six weeks later, on April 9, 2004, he was guarding a civilian convoy that was ambushed by so-called insurgents -- terrorists, to call them by their proper name -- and was captured. He is the only American to have been captured in Iraq.
The Pittsburgh Times-Review has a great piece about the Maupin family and their experiences over the last year-and-a-half. I encourage you to read it.
I also encourage you to copy my little PhotoShop project above and put it on your site.
For we must never forget Matt Maupin, a typical American young man, who fell into the hands of the enemy while fighting for this country and the freedom of the Iraqi people.
And we must make sure that Sgt. Matt Maupin returns home with honor -- an American hero.
Please feel free to use the badge to honor Sgt. Matt Maupin.
Here are a couple of great articles marking the anniversary.
