1st Sgt. Vaughn B. Williams with General Support Motor Transportation Company, 6th Motor Transport Battalion, 4th Marine Logistics Group, escorts Chandler Hoskins, widow of Sgt. Jay M. 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.
