The family of Private Billy G. Palmer has requested the PGR to honor Mr. Palmer on Wednesday, Nov. 19th in Fulton, Ms. At the request of the family we will only escort from the funeral home to the cemetery and stand a flag line for the graveside services.
Staging: Wed., Nov. 19th at 12 noon at Senter's Funeral Home at 707 South Adams St. in Fulton, MS. on the north side of the funeral home. The escort will
less than 5 miles and will have a police escort. Will be leaving the funeral home around 12:45.
Billy Palmer, 84, died Monday, Nov. 17, 2008, at the North Mississippi Medical Center. He was a volunteer in the military and a veteran of World War II. He was assigned to the Signal Corps attached to the 5th Air Force and was later assigned to the 35th Fighter Control Squadron, fighting in the South Philippines, Luzon, New Guinea, Bismarck Archipelago, Hiroshima and Nagasaki. His unit was the first ground forces to arrive after the Hiroshima bombing. He served as a private with a military occupational specialty of automotive mechanics and a specialty transporter of everything from everyday supplies and food to weapons. He served as commander of Fulton's VFW for five years and received many awards for membership and for helping fellow veterans and their families. He was awarded All American Post Commander in 1986 and 1987 for outstanding service and 100 percent membership. He dearly loved his family and his many friends, including his veteran buddies.
<script></script>
Graveside services with military honors will be at 1 p.m. Wednesday at Itawamba Memorial Garden. Bro. Terry Paul Graham will officiate. Senter Funeral Home is in charge of the arrangements. |
