Comments/Citation
The Associated Press
COLEMAN, Mich. — A 23-year-old Michigan soldier, remembered in the community where he grew up as an athlete and leader.
Mary Pitchford, principal at Coleman High School, said a member of the small community about 120 miles northwest of Detroit told her about Casey Zylman’s death. Pitchford was principal at Coleman Middle School when he was a student.
“Casey was an excellent student and very fine athlete,” Pitchford said. “He played football and baseball, and was a member of our student council. Casey was a true leader in his class and just an excellent person.”
Also May 25, Gov. Jennifer Granholm in her weekly radio address praised those from Michigan serving in the armed forces. She ordered flags be flown at half-staff until noon on Memorial Day to honor fallen military members.
