Whereas, on July 14, 2009, he suffered devastating injuries as the result of a roadside bomb, almost lost a leg, and was hospitalized for months; and
Whereas, since his recovery he has volunteered his time training young people who have signed up for military duty, thereby using his nine years of active duty service with the United States Army to help prepare and protect young soldiers as they begin their military service; and
Whereas, Adam Palmer is also a man of deep faith who is a living witness for Christ and who serves others every day as Christ would have us do; and
Whereas, in his marriage he is blessed with two wonderful young children, the youngest of whom was born on July 14, 2014, the fifth anniversary of his injuries; and
Whereas, South Carolina is blessed to have many great young leaders such as Adam Palmer who by a life of example demonstrates to others what a true Christian life should be; and
Whereas, the members of the House of Representatives, by this resolution and on behalf of all South Carolinians would like to thank this brave and courageous soldier, husband, and father for his service to our country while in uniform and for unselfishly using his military experiences to better prepare other young members of the Armed Forces for service to our State and Nation.
