Parents Keith and Carolyn Maupin at the Yellow Rib - Inspired shortly after Matt Maupin went missing, his parents began the Yellow Ribbon Support Center. This organization was dedicated to all of the military personnel currently assigned overseas defending this great country. We also hope to offer moral support to the loved ones left behind. We are not experts but are willing to lend a listening ear and maybe learn something along the way. Their main goal was to raise the morale of all the troops. To accomplish this task, they relied heavily on donations and contributions. Most were taken in by the sales of the yellow ribbons. For $3 you got a magnet that you could put anywhere on your car to support the troops.
