Just wanted to let you know, in case you haven't connected the dots -- we got these guys home, all three of them. Sadly, it was only their remains, but we didn't quit until we found them. The small part I was priveleged to play in the search for the last two men (Fouty and Jimenez) only amounted to eliminating a few burial sites, but I'll tell my grandkids and great grandkids about it Godwilling, and Godwilling I'll still be able to say America doesn't quit trying to bring home her soldiers. God, how I wish we'd got them alive. I pray their families have found peace and closure. This is still tough to think about. I know this is a necro.

I have been intouch with Keith Maupin, Matt's dad through the Yelllo Ribbon Support Center. Perhaps it is time to pressure the Army into more action!!!

It's all propaganda and their blood lust. These soldiers will not be found alive. They will die horribly while the Insurgents yell Allahu Ackbar on video. This is the same thing we saw last time US soldiers were captured at a check point and mutilated. Not to mention all the other Western prisoners who died slowly at the end of a blade. Rule number one for Americans in the GWOT: Do not allow yourself get taken prisoner. Save the last bullet for yourself.
