SSgt Matthew Maupin. The Army has identified remains found in Iraq as belonging to Matt Maupin of Bartonville..'s 724th Transportation Company. Staff Sergeant Maupin went missing on April 9th, 2004. He was the only U.S. soldier unaccounted for in Iraq. Thousands of mourners packed into funeral of this young Ohio soldier whose remains were found in Iraq last month.It has been four years since Staff Sergeant Matt Maupin..'s convoy was attacked. Maupin, a 20-year-old private first class then, was listed as missing-captured until a tip from local Iraqis led to the discovery of his remains.Today family and friends were finally able to put him to rest. Thousands attended a daylong visitation at a civic center in Clermont County today where Maupin grew up. Mourners then proceeded to The Great American Ball Park for his memorial.
Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday that is observed on the last Monday of May (observed in 2008 on May 26). It was formerly known as Decoration Day. This holiday commemorates U.S. men and women who have died in military service to their country. It began first to honor Union soldiers who died during the American Civil War. After World War I, it was expanded to include those who died in any war or military action. We ask that you please take a moment on Memorial Day to remember our fallen soldiers that have made the ultimate sacrifice, not only in today..'s conflicts, but all conflicts throughout our history.

Ken has mentioned that if you have a Prayer Request please add it to the Chapel section here at Military-Space.org. After posting a prayer request Ken will lead us in a prayer, at times reading a prayer can comfort a person. So please feel free to take advantage of requesting a prayer. We want to remind our members of our Military Space Kids Zone. It is never too early to start supporting our troops. If you know of any children who would like to become involved we urge you to show them our Kids Zone. Its a safe place to make new friends, and to learn about ways to support our soldiers and their families. We are always in need of kids willing to write letters or draw pictures for our deployed soldiers. Take a minute to go visit the Kids Zone at http://kids.military-space.org/index.php.
Support Team
Team Leader: Sldischinger
Sharon has became the Team Leader of the Support Team, congratulations Sharon.
Support The Military-Space.org Support Team is available to provide additional support where needed. For example, if someone hears of a soldier who doesn..'t get a lot of support from home, we step in and send some additional letters and cards, above and beyond those sent by the Letters of Hope Team. In addition, cards of encouragement are sent to units hit hard with injuries. another example would be requests for cards for special occasions, such as birthdays, anniversaries, a new baby, etc., can be sent to the Support Team. The Support Team needs more members who are able to send some encouragement or congratulations as it is needed. Your note or card may be the one to make someone..'s day special by letting them know that there is someone .."out there.." that cares about them!! If you would like some more information on how you can join and help provide additional support to our soldiers and their families please email [email protected]. There are some special projects that are coming up shortly, and we need some help with them. Your participation with them would be greatly appreciated.

If you can write a soldier please sign up today. We have a new policy which will make it easier for members to join the Letters of Hope Team. As of today it is NOT mandatory to have a signed NDA to join a team UNLESS there will be sending to a family member... you must send the following to the team leader: first and last name address phone number where you can be reached date of birth ( you MUST be over 18) valid email address ( and this must be verified prior to approval) We have (59) active members on our team writing letters. Many have started to write a different soldier each week, as well as to the soldiers they sponsor. The Letters of Hope Team is a very rewarding team.
