48th BCT GA Nat’l Guard is coming home!

Mr. Robert Stokely, father of Sgt Mike Stokely (KIA 08/16/05-Iraq) has notified us “that arrival dates are being set for the 48th Brigade GA National Guard to land in GA over the next three weeks. My son's unit, E Troop 108th CAV are awaiting their scheduled flight and still pulling missions. They are due to "head south" and then hop a plane to Kuwait and then on to the US by end of the month, first of May. Should be on the ground by May 5 at Ft. Stewart outside of Savannah GA.”

I can't wait to be there to welcome them home on behalf of my son, SGT Mike Stokely. I know he is looking down and smiling that "his guys" are coming home and will soon be reunited with their loved ones. I am proud and smiling as well.

Welcome home boys and thank you for the good work you have done over the past 18 months. It will be a pleasure to have you all home and safe. To top it off, it will be a great birthday present for Mike to see you all return home so close to his birthday Wednesday, 19 April, 2006.
