Rest In Peace and Rise In Glory!
Will be raising a glass to Honor these Warriors during the appointed times here at Firebase Magnolia. Hopkinsville Ky is the home of the birthplace of Former CSA President Jefferson Davis. It is also the location of a major encampment location for the Trail of Tears. I visited both during a journey west in 2015. It’s a nice pretty area to Rest in Peace at. Here’s hoping for a good turnout to lay these Warriors to Rest in their Home Soil.
Thanks for the update, Hondo.
Service for PVT Floyd A. Fulmer is 11am at the Post Chapel at Arlington National Cemetery this Thursday.
