In Memoriam- Carl Fulmore
Monday, August 8th, 2022I often find myself overwrought by the news that so many of my friends have succumbed to cancer and I am deeply saddened by the passing of my long-time friend Carl Fulmore.
I can come to no other conclusion than that service to his nation took Carl from us at so young an age. Just two years older than me, Carl and I shared many common experiences. We both started our careers as enlisted Soldiers and both earned commissions. We both served in Long Surveillance units in Germany and both served in Special Forces units. Carl was an operator in 10th Group and I was an enabler in 3rd. But Carl and I shared something even deeper and that is a dedication to protecting American service members. Even after his service in PEO Soldier, Carl continued to work in the Soldier protection realm in industry. Carl shared his legacy of service with his son who serves in an Air Force community I hold dear. May the Lord protect all of his family.
What hit me so hard about his sudden passing is how stoic he was as a man. Cancer has culled our community, taking many a man in his prime. He didn’t complain. Carl, like so many of his contemporaries deserved more. He ended up giving his all for his nation. A bullet didn’t strike him down, but they got him, all the same.
Read a brief, and very humble biography of a man I place among giants here.
