Matt Maupin - Remember My Face - It’s been a long time now I can’t help but feel, My life is over, is this all really real? I’ve been a prisoner for such a long time, No one left behind, was that just a line; They beat and threaten my life with a shiv, Name, rank and serial number, that’s all I give; Does anyone even remember my name? Or am I a soldier and prisoner of little fame; How much longer will I be held in this place? My name is Matt, do you remember my face; I’m an American soldier, who willingly served, I can’t help but think this is so underserved; Have I been abandoned in this horrible place? Will I die and disappear without leaving a trace; What about my buddies, who fought at my side, Are they still fighting, has the war turned the tide; Will they come for me and free me from this fate, Or will I die in the place, a victim of fanatical hate; The country I love and served with such pride; Has it turned its back on me now, has it lied; Please don’t leave me behind; it would be a disgrace, My name is Matt Maupin, please remember my face. Author unsigned | Matt's remains were found in late March 2008, but confirmation was not made until March 30, 2008, in Iraq. The burial took place on April 27, 2008.
