Zachary Salmon

Pfc. Zachary Salmon, age 21, was shot and killed on January 12, 2011, when his armored vehicle was attacked in Afghanistan. 

Pfc. Salmon was with the Cavalry Unit of the 101st Airborne based at Fort Campbell. In addition to his parents, he is survived by a three-year-old son named Noah. He also has two sisters and a brother.

He is described as a hero by his family members, who will forever miss him. He is also described as a wonderful father who adored his son. 

Pfc. Salmon grew up in Ohio, but he moved to Tennessee as a teenager and graduated from Pigeon Forge High School in 2008. After graduating he returned to the Tri-State and spent a year living in Hebron, Kentucky with his mother. His father lives in Hamilton. He enlisted in March of 2010 and was deployed in September. 

Let us pray to God the Father, Jesus, all of the saints and all of the angels that Zachary Salmon is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen
