Master Sgt. Clinton W. Cubert of Lawrenceburg, Kentucky was known as “Corn bread” among his friends. He was always ready to organize a fishing or hunting expedition. One of his passions was a fishing trip on the Kentucky River with friends. He loved his family, his friends, and he loved this country that he lived in. Everyone could learn a lot from the life of Clinton. He was a great father, husband and soldier. He adored his daughters, Alisha and Sarah, and he loved spending time with them hunting, fishing and boating. Clinton has been presented with the Bronze Star Medal, the Purple Heart, the Meritorious Service Medal, the Overseas Service Ribbon, the Kentucky Distinguished Service Medal and the Combat Action Badge for his service in Iraq. He was recognized by the Kentucky State Legislature in resolutions passed by both the House and the Senate. He is survived by his wife, Amy and their daughters, Alisha and Sarah. He is the tenth Kentucky Army National Guard soldier to lose his life as the result of combat action in Iraq. Clinton died at age 38 in the Lexington Veterans Affairs Medical Center, of injuries sustained when an improvised explosive device detonated near his HMMWV during combat operations in Samarra, Iraq, on Sept. 11, 2005.
