American Soldier
Today marks 2 years that SGT Mike Stokely was KIA near Yusufiyah Iraq.
Please go HERE and read the words his father, Robert Stokely shares.
And then watch the video that his sister, Abbey, put together to honor her big brother.
Mr. Stokely ends this tribute with the following:
"When asked what I would say to those who built the bomb that killed Mike, my answer is "They would have better served their cause by leaving him alive to have come home to a family who would have gone on to live ordinary anonymous lives. Instead, by their acts which caused Mike's death, an enemy has brought our family and entire generation of friends alive for the cause of freedom, without bitterness, anger, or bent for revenge, as we Remember with Honor what Mike Stokely gave. We have not wavered, we shall not retreat, nor shall we forget."
No Mr Stokely, we have not forgotten.
