* Paul Kimbrough (1981) – Paul joined the army reserve, where he rose to the rank of Lt. Colonel. While serving in Afghanistan in 2003, Lt. Col. Kimbrough was medically evacuated from Baghram, Afghanistan to Incirlik, Turkey. He was taken to the 39th Medical Squadron where he remained hospitalized until his death of a non-combat related cause. Lt. Col. Kimbrough was assigned to the 416th Engineer Command, Team 28, U.S. Army Reserve, Fort Benning, Georgia. Lt. Col. Kimbrough died on October 3, 2003. On October 14, 2003, Senator Blanche Lincoln delivered the following statement on the floor of the US Senate: “Mr. President, in recent months I have risen on several occasions to pay tribute to the men and women who are fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan in support of the global war on international terror. Today I rise once again to pay tribute and to honor an Arkansas native recently who died last week in Afghanistan–LTC Paul Kimbrough, a native of Little Rock, AR. He was 44 years old. Paul Kimbrough graduated from Little Rock’s Parkview High School in 1977. Four years later, he graduated from the University of Central Arkansas in Conway with a degree in political science. He joined the U.S. Army before returning to complete his education at the University of Arkansas School of Law in Fayetteville, where he headed up the Black Law Students Association. Paul followed his commitment to public service into the political arena, first working on the staff of U.S. Representative Ray Thornton, and then running in his own campaign for a seat in the Arkansas House of Representatives. He lost that race, but that didn’t slow him down. Paul’s next challenge took him to Washington, DC, where he came to work in the U.S. Department of Transportation in the inspector-general’s office. Lieutenant Colonel Kimbrough remained active in the U.S. Army reserve, and in June he was deployed to Afghanistan with the 416th Engineer Command, where he helped to oversee improvements to living conditions for soldiers at Bagram Air Base. On October 3, he was flown to Incirlik, Turkey, for medical treatment. He died of cardiac arrest en route to Turkey. His family and friends remember him as a true leader–driven, determined, and deeply committed to his country and its cause. In a message to his colleagues at the Department of Transportation sent before he left for Afghanistan, Paul wrote, ‘Always there echoes in my mind: duty, honor, and country. Therefore, I will do my duty as God has given me light to see.’ LTC Paul Kimbrough is survived by his father, Major Kimbrough; his son, Paul Kimbrough, Jr.; his four brothers; and his sister. I ask my colleagues to join me in extending our deepest condolences to Paul’s family and friends. Paul Kimbrough’s resolve and his commitment to his country will not be forgotten. The mission continues in Afghanistan and Iraq, and we remain confident that Paul Kimbrough’s courage and sacrifice will have been given in a worthy cause.”
