SPC George Walter Cauley, 24, of Walker, Minnesota died Saturday, October 10, 2009 at Bagram Air Field, Afghanistan from injuries received during active duty in the Army National Guard. George was born March 13, 1985 in Crosby, Minnesota to Richard and Gloria (Welbourne) Cauley. He grew up in the Longville, Minnesota area, and graduated from Remer High School in 2003. Influenced by the military legacy in his family, George enlisted in the Army National Guard at the age of 17 and was a member of the 114th Transportation Company. He was currently on his first overseas tour of duty to Afghanistan. Music was a big part of George's life and he had a great interest in playing guitar, piano, and drums, as well as listening to music. He was also mechanical and enjoyed working on small sports cars, preferably if the speed could be increased. Playing basketball with friends, and spending time on the computer were other favorite pastimes. George was a perfectionist and always determined to do things well. He always treated people with respect, was patient, giving, and stood up for others. He had a smile that will never be forgotten, and took pride in wearing the uniform of the United States Army. George is survived by his parents, Richard and Gloria Cauley, uncles and aunts; Jerry (Ethel) Cauley, Charles (Ann) Cauley, Gary W. (Pat) Cauley, Mark Welbourne, Bruce (Kay) Welbourne, Alice (Jack) Palmer, Charlotte Neukam, Phyllis (Bill) Kretz, Vicki Manns-Cauley, Mary (Darrell) Hall, and numerous cousins.

By PAUL WALSH, Star Tribune Last update: October 13, 2009 - 11:22 PM George Cauley answered when his northern Minnesota high school football team called on him as a 5-foot-3 senior, and he answered the call again when patriotism inspired him to wear a military uniform. Cauley, 24, was killed while serving with the Minnesota National Guard in Afghanistan last week. Insurgents in Helmand Province attacked the National Guard specialist's vehicle with an improvised explosive device last Wednesday, the Pentagon said. He died of his injuries three days later in Bagram. "I talked him and one of the other kids into coming out for football as seniors," Northland High School football coach Shem Daugherty recalled Tuesday. In that 2002 season, Daughtery said, Cauley "gave his all when he was out there," despite his unfootball-like stature. The coach said Cauley reminded him of the famed "Rudy" from Notre Dame in the 1970s, the "small guy with a big heart" who earned a spot on the team and was later immortalized in a movie. "Since George's passing, when you think of him coming out [for football], most definitely," Daugherty said of the "Rudy" analogy. After graduation from the school in Remer, Minn., Cauley returned to the school in his military uniform to tell his coach that he had enlisted. "He was always asking questions about the military," Daugherty said. "He was pretty proud to tell me that he enlisted in the Natonal Guard. It was pretty neat to see that excitement." Cauley was a member of the Guard's 114th Truck Company, based in Duluth. The company had 187 soldiers mobilized in June, said Maj. Patricia Ba- ker, a public affairs officer for the Minnesota Guard. The one-year deployment included training in Indiana before leaving for Afghanistan, Baker said. Principal Joseph Akre said many kids from his school choose a future in the military, and Northland honors them by posting a photo in the school along with information about their military background. Akre lamented that Northland hadn't yet arranged such a salute to Cauley. "We are trying to work on that now," Akre said, adding that the school has had in the past some of its graduates "get banged up" while serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. "To the best of my knowledge,'' he said, "George is our first fatality."
