FLEMINGSBURG, Ky. — An Army sergeant killed in a bombing in Iraq was memorialized Jan. 28 at the Kentucky high school where he graduated.
Sgt. John E. Cooper, 29, was one of four soldiers killed in Mosul earlier in January when a roadside bomb hit their vehicle.
Family, friends and supporters gathered the afternoon of Jan. 28 at Fleming County High School to remember Cooper. His brother, Terry, told gatherers he feels a swelling of pride when he thinks of Cooper’s service.
“I thought I knew what pride was,” Terry Cooper said. But he said his brother’s death in combat “made me feel a pride I’d never felt before.”
