    ***Update:*** The remains of Matt Maupin have been found in Iraq. The information was reported to the media on March 31, 2008. Matt's father, Keith Maupin, says it is not the outcome he would have hoped for, but says the discovery brings some closure:

    "Unfortunately, we must now begin to think about making arrangements just as many others who have lost loved ones in the War have done. It's not an easy task, but we have faith and we know we will see Matt again."

    We've recently changed the format of Soldier Stories, but you can find the archived stories prior to this change by following this link.

  • First Lieutenant Trevor Brewster is a Batallion Communications Manager (S6) with the Army. Brewster went to school in Orlando and is on his first tour, currently stationed at Tallil, Iraq.

  • Lance Corporal Scott Halisky is a Mortuary Affairs Specialist with the Marines. Halisky is from Clearwater, and is on his first tour, currently stationed at Camp TQ Iraq.

    One of the resources we're using for this series is "DVIDS," the Digital Video and Imagery Distribution System. This service is utilized by the U.S. Government, as a means to connect media outlets around the country directly with military personnel, serving overseas. Additional interviews come from the 143rd Expeditionary Sustainment Command in Orlando.
