Funeral Set for Nebraska Marine Killed in Afghanistan

The funeral for Sgt. Joshua Robinson will be held Tuesday in Hastings.

The Hastings Tribune reports that Robinson's body arrived in Hastings Sunday, and more than 100 Patriot Guard Riders escorted his body from the Grand Island airport to Hastings.

Robinson was killed Aug. 7 while on patrol in Afghanistan.

Robinson's wife, Rhonda, and two sons, ages 4 and 5, have been living in Bennington, Neb., so they could be close to family.

Robinson lived on a farm near Oak, Neb., when he was a child.

His mother said Robinson decided to enlist in the Marines in 2003 because of the threat the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks represented to the country.
