Obituary

Another great Soldier and Fallen Hero has passed from our ranks.  Sergeant First Class (SFC) (retired) Paul Bennie Sones, a retired member of the MS Army National Guard who had served within the 367 Maintenance Company and the 114th Area Support Group has departed and gone to a better place with our good Lord.

Rest in Peace Soldier.  We applaud your patriotism and brave efforts in serving our country and your family for their support of your service.  We thank you for your service.   Without your efforts and your families’ support, this country would not stand so bold, shine so bright and live so free.  You now have earned a rest, so go fly with the Angels.  May God look over you and your family.
