“I rise tonight to offer my sincere condolences to the family of Staff Sergeant Keith Matthew Maupin. Yesterday, Keith and Carolyn Maupin learned that the United States Army had positively identified the remains found last week in Iraq as that of their son, Matt Maupin. After nearly 4 years of suffering the torment of not knowing the status of their missing son, I pray that this news may bring some closure to the Maupins and allow them to begin to mourn their loss and celebrate the life that Matt lived. Keith Matthew Maupin was born in Batavia, Ohio, on July 13, 1983, and was a student at Glen Este High School in Union Township, Clermont County, Ohio, where he played football and was a rower on the county's high school crew team. Matt graduated in 2001 and enrolled in the University of Cincinnati's Aerospace Engineering Program. He joined the United States Army Reserve in 2002, attending basic training at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, and completed his advanced individual training at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, in the spring of 2003.”
