Matt Maupin Day
Flags will fly at half-mast Friday, April 11, as the city observes Matt Maupin Day.
Vice Mayor Pat Moeller submitted the resolution to council Wednesday evening. He said he got the idea while at Opening Day for the Cincinnati Reds where the flags were at half-mast. He said Maupin’s parents had visited Hamilton several times and Matt had become a symbol of the American soldier. The city has honored other sons lost in the war, but not to this extent.
Moeller and Councilman Jim Noonan both expressed desire that the city take this action in the event of any local combat deaths in the future.
