Thank you for your service. Families of the DUSTWUNs endure some of the hardest pain. The criminal responsible for this attack and the murder of Matt Maupin was reported killed on 11/11/2008. Only two men remain missing now, Altaie and Gilbert. I pray they all come home at last. God bless you and give you peace.
