I also received this email from Lynn O'Shea about Matt Maupin:

They're planning to do it again.... According to the article below, the Pentagon is considering a change in status for Matt Maupin from captured to KIA/BNR. Read the articles and send the emails, but add this one to the list

president@whitehouse.gov

Note: the links in this article will send you to sites that will tell you how you can email each of the Senators and congressmen.

Also remember even the Army could not determine if the video of the purported execution was real or not. We can not allow the govt. to declare Maupin dead without any evidence.

Maupin's Family Fighting Death Declaration

Family Opposes Pentagon Plan, Asks Help In Writing To Lawmakers

PFC. MATT MAUPIN

The Pentagon is considering changing the Matt Maupin's status from "captured" to "deceased, body not recovered." And the missing soldier's family is asking you to help them fight it.

Military officials now say they have little reason to doubt the person shown being executed on a tape last summer is the Clermont County native.

The Maupin family fears a change in status would mean the search for their son is over.

They're starting a writing campaign to lawmakers to try to keep Matt's case open.

There are POW's walking by you on the street or in the grocery store. Sitting in the car behind you at McDonald's drive through, sitting next to you at the ball game or at work. The prison is in their minds with the war locked inside. MIA's. The one's that never came back are always missing. That black flag is about them. The other one is about us.
At least that's how I look at it.
