Mr. Stokely writes that this one hits close to home:
...his family goes to my church and he went to school with my middle son, Wes. He was the only child of his mother and father. He had recently enlisted, age 19 and was in country about a month before his death. He loved and wanted to serve and relayed to his family just the day before his death that he loved what he was doing.
Please keep this family in your thoughts and prayers. I am standing by and assisting them as needed.
We certainly will Robert, we certainly will.
