A 26-year-old Daviess County native has died serving in Afghanistan. A Department of Defense press release says Sgt. Michael Cable of Philpot came under enemy attack Wednesday while on duty in an Afghan province.
He graduated from Daviess County High School in 2004. Cross Country Coach Tony Rowe recalls Cable as a talented runner who will be missed by many.
"Especially that group that ran together and his close friends," replies Rowe. "They all kept up with each other after high school. It's just a big loss."
Cable was based at Fort Campbell. He was assigned to Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 1st Battalion, 327th Infantry, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division.
