I didn’t go to McCutcheon High. I didn’t know Kyle Osborn though Lafayette is his home town like me. Kyle Osborn is a hero and needs to be remembered. He was killed in Afghanistan
McCutcheon High School grad Kyle Osborn killed in Afghanistan by Mikel Livingston, Journal And Courier
Several years ago Kyle Osborn, a McCutcheon High School alumnus and Clarks Hill native, returned to his alma mater to visit with a handful of his favorite teachers.
Having just made the decision to forgo a college wrestling career for a stint with the U.S. Army, the 2005 McCutcheon graduate was beaming with pride.
“He was so enthusiastic about what he was doing,” physics teacher Cheryl McLean said. “It was such a warm moment.”
Osborn, who served in the 1st Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment, was reported Friday as having been killed in Afghanistan. He is Greater Lafayette’s 12th member of the military to die in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan since the conflicts began following the 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001.
