    Welcome home. May you be blessed and heal well. When we join the military and raise our right hand an take the oath. We do not know where we will go and what hardship we will endure. But what we do know is we will pay whatever the price will be to protect our constitution, citizens an the oppressed.
    From one veteran to another. We thank you very much for your service to our country.

    A true American hero! In recent times we’ve seen too many sad homecomings of our young military. We’ve lined the roadways with our heads dropped in sadness and families grieving. Daniel’s homecoming could have ended this way, but thankfully God saw fit to spare him. Please join family and friends on Friday to welcome him to a joyous new beginning. Daniel’s mother, Flora Jean Stanton Palmer, is a Century native. One of his sisters, Melissa Moye, and one of his grandmothers, Frances Stanton Lee along with many cousins, siblings, aunts and uncles remain in the north Escambia area. Come out and celebrate the homecoming of Daniel, Becky, Cameron and Faith!
