The Yellow Ribbon Support Center was founded in August 2004 as an avenue for SSG Keith Matt Maupin’s parents to share Matt’s story following his capture by insurgents in April 2004 and to raise awareness in getting Matt home. Each care package delivered still has a picture of Matt displayed on it. The support center has sent approximately 24,000 packages since its inception and donated more than $550,000 in secondary scholarships.
Our mission is to support the men and women serving in harm’s way and to remember those that didn’t walk off the plane.
We are always looking for mailing address and email addresses for those serving in harm’s way. Please send them to K_Maupin@yahoo.com
