Hoskins, to receive a plaque at the 51st annual Paris Rodeo Aug. 7. This year’s rodeo was dedicated to Sgt. Hoskins, a Paris resident who lost his life during combat operations in Afghanistan Aug. 6, 2009. When organizers were struggling to find military support for the event, the Marines of the 6th Motor Transport Battalion answered the call. “We couldn’t have asked them to be any more cooperative,” rodeo organizer Ray McCranie said of the Marines’ support.
