Missing soldier Matt Maupin hopes endure until return
Batavia Ohio family keeps faith as nearly 30 000 photos of Matt Maupin circulate in Iraq. Parents Sally and Keith Maupin run a Yellow Ribbon Support Center near Sam's Club, sending boxes with photos and notes to troops to aid recognition and return efforts. Maupin, captured April 9 2004 after a fuel convoy ambush west of Baghdad, remains listed missing captured with no new review planned. The family funds scholarships for fallen soldiers and receives support from Rep. Jean Schmidt as community ribbons symbolize ongoing hope for the Marine and Army Reserve private first class.

Marines relieved as Haditha massacre probe continues
Three leaders of the 3rd Battalion 1st Marine Regiment were relieved of duty after an investigation into the Haditha killings. The unit faced heavy criticism over the roadside bombing on Nov 19 and the subsequent search that left 23 dead, including eight from Younes family. Maj Gen Natonski said the action reflected lost confidence in command.
