Carolyn Maupin Quotations

I didn't carry on very well the first three or four months. Then one day I decided it was time for me to go back to work. And really, I think it's become my safe haven.

I wonder if he hears the bombs of the soldiers and their rifles.

We put 10 pictures inside each box with a little note asking them to please help us find him, and also thanking them for defending our freedom.

Twice now they've dropped the ball where we've learned about something happening with our son from other sources, like the media. There's no excuse to put a family through this.

We will not let Matt be forgotten. I don't want him left behind. I don't want him left there.

Even though you see a smile, your heart still aches.

They had been putting out posters with a very dark picture of Matt that didn't look much like him. We wanted to send a poster with better pictures.

It's a lot of money, but we are determined to do this, to remember those who have given their lives.

Is this the day Matt will call and tell me he's coming home? Is this the day the Army will call and tell me he's dead?

I honestly thought he'd be back by now.

The information we received was helpful and it showed the Army is actively following up leads concerning his whereabouts.
