Rose Hill’s Keia Palmer: Davis Moore Military Profile

By Matt Browning

With her step-dad, Ryan Breault, in the military, life has never been consistent for Rose Hill senior, Keia Palmer.

Whether her it was long periods of Breault, who has been in the military for 13 years, being gone on deployment or long periods of him being at home, it was difficult for Palmer and her mom and sister to develop a routine for life.

“When my step-dad comes back from being deployed is when life feels a little interrupted,” Palmer said. “When he’s gone for a year or more he has his own routine and we fall into ours. When he comes back we all have to revert back to a routine when everyone was in the house. It is a big adjustment for everyone.”

Palmer, who is a cheerleader and track athlete for the Rockets, and plans to attend Wichita State next year, also said that increasing patience and understanding for those in the military is necessary to make homelife as close to normal as possible.

Being able to understand this at an early age would be beneficial for any child who has a loved one serving our country.

“If you are young and have a guardian in the military know that the military is not consistent,” Palmer said. “So, be patient, understanding, and keep your head up.”
