Sgt. Kyle Osborn’s remains welcomed home by family, community by Chris Morisse Vizza, Journal And Courier
The thunder of motorcycles signaled the arrival of the hearse carrying U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Kyle Osborn.
The 26-year old native of Stockwell died Sept. 13 as the result of injuries in Muqer, Afghanistan, while serving with the 1st Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment.
“I’ll be honored if I get to see him go by,” Brooke Wamsley said. “It’s the least we can do for someone who died for us.”
Osborn’s remains arrived by plane at Purdue Airport about 9:40 a.m. Thursday.
Under cool, gray skies, community members stood along the hearse’s route from the airport to Hippensteel Funeral Home at 822 N. Ninth St. in Lafayette.
People who never met Osborn took time to stop and show their gratitude.
