Soldier Story: Cory L. Palmer
Each day, we will randomly highlight one service member’s life, and include links and stories. We choose to never forget, and this is our way, before the run, to remember our fallen service members.
Marine Cpl. Cory L. Palmer of Seaford, Delaware died of injuries sustained in Iraq on May 6, 2006. He was wounded when his Humvee was hit by an explosive near Fallujah on May 1, according to his local newspaper, the (Wilmington) News Journal. Cory was 21 and serving in his second tour in Iraq.
Cory played varsity soccer for his senior year in high school, and was remembered as a “fun, loving guy”.

A Service for Cory
I was perusing the websites giving tribute to our beloved Marines as we come up on Election Day, 2008. Thank you for including our son, Cory in your tributes. Much more can be learned about our heroes on Legacy.com websites and also ArlingtonCemetery.net. I encourage you to include those links to Cory’s page. Thank you so very much,
