Benjamin J. Palmer, whose Marine career included three tours of duty in Iraq, was three weeks into a yearlong deployment in Afghanistan and just three days shy of chalking up a quarter-century with the Marine Corps when he was killed. (Marine Corps /July 3, 2011)

Growing up in Modesto, Benjamin J. Palmer enjoyed playing soprano bugle. So he thought of joining the Marine Corps in hopes of becoming part of its elite drum and bugle corps.
Instead, he became a Marine Corps specialist in air command and control and rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel.
