TigerSwan helps Father Visit Fallen Soldier Son’s Footsteps in Iraq

Gents,

This is something different but I thought it might be interesting. Short story; TigerSwan was able to help a father of a fallen soldier travel to the spot his son’s unit was in Iraq when his son was fatally wounded.

Father Visits Fallen Soldier Son’s Footsteps in Iraq

APEX, NC – As the U.S. military withdraws its forces from Iraq, the families of more than 4,000 fallen American soldiers cope with another holiday season without their loved ones.

Robert Stokely, the father of a fallen soldier, wanted to bring a sense of closure to his loss by visiting the location in Iraq where his son was killed. His son, US Army Sgt. Mike Stokely, was killed by an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) attack on August 16, 2005 while serving in the Georgia National Guard. In November, several organizations volunteered to make Stokely’s wish a reality. Soldiers’ Angel, a volunteer, non-profit charity coordinated the visit. TigerSwan donated its services and support for the five day trip…

I saw this story on WSB when it aired, but didn’t catch that TigerSwan was involved. You guys did some great work there.

What a kind and thoughtful gesture your organization provided.

Bless you for that.

Quick update, WRAL here in North Carolina did a story on this as well:
