Virgil was 34 when he first went to combat during the beginning of World War II where he was a Chief Petty Office and SeaBee who was in charge of a Construction Battalion Maintenance Unit. Being older that most his fellow soldiers he had a feeling of responsibility to the younger soldiers. In July of 2003 he was interviewed by a Tennyson Middle School 7th grader and he told of many events during his service time, some bringing him to close encounters with death. He was a great soldier to those who knew him. He was also preceded in death by two brothers: Pick Plemmons and Austin Plemmons. He is survived by his son John Plemmons of San Antonio, TX and his sister, Mary Alice Clover of Atlanta, GA; four grandchildren, Cinnamon Plemmons, Ginger Plemmons, Drew Plemmons and Kellie Rae Sellers; two great grandchildren, Connor Sellers and Garrett Sellers.
