Hundreds Attend Funeral For Garland Man Killed In Afghanistan

Hundreds of people on Wednesday payed their respects to a local man who was killed in Afghanistan.

40-year-old Corey Dodge, an Army veteran and private security contractor with DynCorp International, was killed by a car bomb in Kabul, Afghanistan on August 22.

Hundreds of people, including military personnel and law enforcement officers, attended Dodge's funeral at Exeter Cornerstone Baptist Church.

The Bangor Daily News reports the service was held in the church's main auditorium, and an overflow chapel was opened so dozens of others could watch it on a projection screen.

Dodge was born in Dover-Foxcroft and graduated from Dexter Regional High School. He leaves behind a wife and four children.
