Hi All: I got the below from a Maupin cousin. Our cousin, Matt Maupin has been executed by those animals! Please pray for Matt Maupin's soul and his family. Thank you, Sandi Report: Kidnapped Cincinnati Soldier Killed Maupin Captured In Iraq In April BATAVIA, Ohio -- There are unconfirmed reports that a soldier from the Cincinnati area, who was kidnapped in April in Iraq, has been killed, Cincinnati television station WLWT reported. Pfc. Matt Maupin, 20, of Batavia, Ohio, a member of the 724th Transportation Company, was captured April 9. His convoy was attacked by gunmen using rocket-propelled grenades and other weapons. According to military representatives close to the Maupin family who spoke to WLWT, sources are reporting that the Al-Jazeera TV network has a videotape of Maupin being shot. The military has not changed Maupin's status, and the report of his death has not been confirmed. A tape showing Maupin being held by guerillas was released about a week after Maupin was reported missing. Also, a Kentucky marine killed in Iraq last week will be buried in Louisville. http://www.thelouisvillechannel.com/news/3468364/detail.html

Sandi, I read about this on CNN Quick news I get. It is so awful. Our 21 year old Marine grandson flew out from N. C. a week ago today to Kuwait, and then they flew them to somewhere in Iraq. He called his mother, [our daughter] this morning and we was so happy to hear he was alright, because I heard about 2 days ago that 3 Marines had been killed somewhere around Bagdad. Our sympathy to all of Matt's family Betty & Harold Garrard ----- Original Message ----- From: <SandKatC@aol.com> To: <GARRARD-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, June 28, 2004 7:53 PM Subject: [GARRARD] [MAUPIN-L] Matt Maupin > Hi All: > > I got the below from a Maupin cousin.
