Captured Sgt. Keith Maupin promoted to Staff Sergeant (least we forget)
The Army promoted its only Soldier listed as captured to Staff Sergeant with an effective promotion date of August 3, 2006. Keith Matt Maupin is a member of the 724th Transportation Company from Bartonville, Illinois. On April 9th, 2004, Staff Sgt. Maupins convoy was attacked by enemy forces with rocket propelled grenades and small arms fire. Missing after the attack, he was immediately placed in an accountability status referred to as Duty Status: Whereabouts Unknown. On April 16, 2004, his status was changed to Missing-Captured. The U.S. Armys Warrior Ethos I will never leave a fallen comrade makes clear the Armys unwavering commitment to finding Staff Sgt. Maupin. Coalition forces continue to actively search for Staff Sgt. Maupin, and will do so until he is found. Until that time, he remains on active duty status with all rights and privileges for pay and promotions.
