In Memoriam
by Anna Boykin for Brig. Gen. Michael E. DeArmond, Honored by Albert G. Horton Jr. Veterans Cemetery

Remembering my father, Brig Gen Michael E DeArmond, who served as a fighter pilot in the Korean War, was shot down, captured and held in North Korean prison camp for eighteen months. He later served with distinction in the Vietnam War. He was a man of high character, whose service God, family and country never wavered. We miss you, Dad.
