UPDATE...
One of the soldiers that we (I say that as comrades in arms and as Americans) lost has finally come home. SSG Keith Maulpin has finally been found and his remains have been shipped home. Nearly 4 years after he was captured and listed as MIA during the summer of 2004.

My prayers go out to his family.
I was rather irritated by one of the posts that someone added at the bottom of the article. Irritated really doesn't cover it. I would have actually liked to have shot the focker for the ignorant a*s sh*t he posted. I doubt that the newspaper is going to post what I added in response to that :asshat 's message. If they do, God bless them.
And in closing this rather sad chapter, I leave you with this:
I will always place the mission first.
I will never accept defeat.
I will never quit.
I will never leave a fallen comrade :flag:
We still have 3 MIA's:
Ahmed Qusai al-Taei (Iraqi translator)
Specialist Alex Jimenez
Private Byron Fouty
