The Patriot Guard Riders made a significant showing, vowing to not let this veteran pass without honor and respect.
(SALEM, Ore.) - A soldier who was missing for years was honored over the weekend in Salem at a special event held at the city's Afghan/Iraq Freedom Memorial. Sgt. Keith Matthew Maupin's parents had vowed to never let the U.S. Army forget about finding their son. His remains were discovered in March.
Their efforts included trips to the Pentagon and even meeting with President Bush. The The Army has not told the family where in Iraq their son's remains were discovered. It has only been announced that the identification was made through DNA testing, the family told The AP. A shirt he may have been wearing at the time of his disappearance was also found.
Sunday a special memorial service in Salem honored Sgt. Keith Matthew Maupin from Cincinnati, Ohio, who was taken as Prisoner of War in 2004.
