Sgt. James C. Robinson, a graduate of Monroe High School in Butler County and a married father of two, died this weekend after insurgents attacked his base in Afghanistan’s Paktika Province, the Department of Defense reported Monday. A 2001 graduate of Monroe High School, Robinson was a member of the Hornets soccer team and the school’s science club, Monroe Superintendent Elizabeth Lolli said…

Although it has been several years since Robinson walked the halls of Monroe High School, Assistant Principal Robert Millisor said he clearly remembers the young man. “He was very fun-loving, a good man of character,” Millisor recalled. “I remember the group (Robinson’s class) in particular; they were a real close-knit group.” Millisor, who has a child who recently joined the Marines, expressed his condolences to Robinson’s family, including two siblings who graduated from Monroe two and four years behind their big brother. “I really respect his courage and dedication and willingness to serve,” Millisor said. “You can’t ask for more than that out of somebody.”
