Hundreds pay respects to fallen Indiana soldier

The Associated Press

AUBURN, Ind. — Hundreds of people turned out for the funeral of a northeastern Indiana soldier who was killed by enemy rocket fire in Afghanistan.

Nearly 100 members of the Indiana Patriot Guard and American Legion riders held flags that formed a walkway in front of the National Military History Center in Auburn for Tuesday’s funeral for 23-year-old Army Sgt. JaBraun Knox.

Knox, who was married with an infant son, was killed along with another soldier May 18 by enemy rocket fire.

The Journal Gazette reports classmates of the 2007 DeKalb High School graduate attended Tuesday’s services. Among them was 22-old Mitchell Miller, who was on the high school’s wrestling team with Knox.

He says he last spoke with Knox when he was home for Christmas and can’t believe he’s gone.
