William Kennedy Mauldin

Margot and family-- What an incredible gift to be able to finally lay to rest on American soil your husband and dad. In this era that so many suggest the physical remains and the place they are put is not importnat, I am delighted at the honor you are paying to this American patriot. Though he has been ""home"" in the arms of Jesus for more than five decades, may you derive an even greater sense of peace and comfort from having Captain Mauldin's body ""safely home."" Bill

Dear Alfred, Margot and family: I would like to offer my sympathy and condolences to you on this occasion. In addition, I touched and appreciative that Captain Mauldin is home...in all respects. There is a gallantry and nobility in the devotion so freely given by our warriors, especially in a time of war. The honor you provide is much more than the last measure of respect. It reflects a deep gratitude and commitment to family that is the cornerstone of the heart of your family. I wish I could be there to share this moment. I offer you my prayers and deep respect.

A touching saga for a very patriotic airman, as was Captain William Mauldin. I am a WW II history buff and a Korea War Air Force Veteran, and I consider it an honor to know Margot Mauldin Robinson. Bill Allnutt

To the Family, Friends, and Comrades of CPT Mauldin, please accept my condolences on the loss of CPT Mauldin so many years ago. It's so hard to lose someone dear to you, but it's even harder not really having a finite end, to always wonder. Finally, you have closure and can render Honor to the one you lost long ago. May God Bless you and Comfort you all in this difficult time. CPT Mauldin, thank you for your service to this Nation, and the Ultimate Sacrifice you made for us. You will not be forgotten.

Bless you all , this is truly a gift of God to get William back home. JoAnne Gunn Crane ,G-G- Granddaughter of John Milton Mauldin and Eliza Ann Mc Allister.

An Airman's Prayer Lord, with whom all secrets we share, Of meeting places high above the common folk. OF breathless wonders, nature's gift to us, Our unlimited views of the busy world below -- Be we governed by nature's highest laws -- by fair weather or foul -- By her laws of physics which we compromise, we escape to commune with Thee. If we be taken from this earth to Thy eternal home Lord, Grant that death shall come with no warning, no pain nor fear -- That our last memory be one of glory and triumph, There be no time lost until we greet Thee in the Life Beyond. Thy will be done, Lord. And if Thou take us, grant us that our Kin may inherit our strength and our love of precious life -- That they too shall live in Eternity -- And we shall rest. AMEN.

Dear Margot, Alfred and Family, We rejoice with you that the remains of your husband, friend and father will be put in his final resting place bringing about closure to this chapter of your lives. It is our wish that you will be comforted by your many friends and family as you take these steps to honor and remember Captain William Mauldin. He was surely an American hero.
