Keith Matthew “Matt” Maupin (13 July 1983–) is a United States Army PFC captured by Iraqi insurgents on April 9, 2004 while serving in the Iraq War after his convoy came under attack by rocket-propelled grenades and small arms fire near Baghdad, Iraq. On June 28, 2004, Al Jazeera reported that he was executed by his captors who shot him in the head. On June 30, 2004, an Army spokesman said the video showing Maupin’s alleged death was “totally inconclusive.”

Just wanted to let you know that I haven’t forgotten Matt. I think of him often and wonder when he will come home. I know this time of year is difficult for you. Hang in there…I think he would want you to. Have a hopeful holiday season.
