In this special edition of The Veronica Edwards Show, Veronica sits down with her uncle, Michael Fuller—U.S. Army veteran, longtime Department of Veterans Affairs leader, and chairman of the Palmer Smith Family Reunion. Together, they celebrate the legacy, leadership, and love that have sustained their family’s annual reunion for nearly 50 years. Michael shares the origin of the Palmer Smith Reunion, its evolution from a simple backyard gathering to a five-state, multigenerational enterprise, and the powerful role of youth, tradition, and service in keeping the legacy alive. They also explore the family’s plans to establish a 501(c)(3) nonprofit to expand scholarships, strengthen community impact, and support future generations. This heartfelt conversation honors heritage, celebrates resilience, and shines a light on the power of family.
