Obituary
Send Flowers1st Lt. Joshua M. Palmer sent an e-mail home asking for candy _ not for himself but for Iraqi children. "He said he liked to see them happy, and they loved the Americans," said his mother, Jackie Palmer. Palmer, 25, of Banning, Calif., died April 8 in a hostile attack. Palmer enlisted in the Marines reserves when he was 17 and worked three summers at his mother's restaurant, The Farmhouse. He earned a bachelor's degree in history from the University of San Diego and graduated last year from officer training at Quantico, Va. He had told his mother that he'd be home by summer, but she recently learned he was trying to extend his stay. "He wasn't going to leave until it was cleaned up," she said.

Memorial Day 2019 is fast approaching and I just realized that I missed posting here on the 15th anniversary of Josh's sacrificial passing on April 8, 2004, old age is setting in and taking its' toll on my memory. along with some health issues that clouds my mind. Years ago I ran across this most precious "read" written by the wife of a fellow Marine who went through "The Basic School" at Quantico with Josh. I now post part of what she had to say because it expresses better than what I could...

14 years, and you're forever 25 years of age, while Alex turned 39 on the day we lost the physical you. We speak of you so often, and you're in our hearts every day, and will be until we meet again. Your life set an example for all of us to strive to emulate. Your Christmas here with us is so easily recalled. Know that you were, and still are, loved deeply.

14 years have now passed and this day still and will ALWAYS be a day of special remembrance of Josh, an honorable, noble and heroically brave man. Man, can this country use more of your kind of quality. May God's grace be of comfort to the Palmer family and friends in his absence.

Hey Joshua,
I miss you everyday brother. Thinking of our kids getting together. 4 wheeling in the desert. They say time makes everything better, but it doesn't. We used to run around the desert like wild animals. Having a good time. I'm sure there was an occasional fight, but what does family do. Lol. Anyways man. I appriciate everything you did. I look forward to hanging out again.

April 8th, 2017, it's now been 13 years since Josh's departure from this world. The memory of him still abides with me, especially on certain occasions such as memorial day, veterans day, when I hear the name Josh, etc. A picture of him in uniform is still my computer's desktop background. As I survey the world around us today, I'm reminded more than ever of his noble character; Josh was truly one special man.
