Honoring Mike Stokely

I saw this today and I just had to post it. Mike Stokley was a soldier that gave his all in Iraq this year. His father expresses his thoughts over at The Mudville Gazette.
Robert Stokely : For whatever reason, the last few days what Cindy Sheehan said "Casey didn't die for a just cause" has been on my mind... ...My response is that Mike didn't die for a "just cause", he died JUST BECAUSE - just because he loved his country enough to want to serve it since the time he was in middle school; just because he loved his family enough to want to protect them; just because he loved his friends enough that he would rather fight a war "there" than here; just because he believed in our order of government whereby the civilian government rules and the military obeys, and when the President, with lawful authority, calls upon soldiers to go and fight, he believed it was not only his duty, but his honor to go; just because he wouldn't let his fellow soldiers - his guys - go it alone; and just because he wanted to do for others - the Iraqi people - what he would do for his own country.
Robert Stokely, Lucky and Proud to be the Dad of SGT Michael "Mike" James Stokely, KIA Operation Iraqi Freedom 16 Aug 05 2nd Platoon, E Troop 108th CAV 48h Brigaded GA NATL GUARD 15 miles south of Baghdad near Yusufiyah / IED
Let’s remember all the other “Mike Stokelys” this week because this is just one name of many. Remeber the gifts they have given us already this year.
Others: Miltary Outpost, Hugh Hewitt, and Sistertoldjah

Mr. Stokley, we honor you and your family for your sacrifice. Your son has not died in vain so long as there are those who value freedom.

Good post. And while we are at it - how about a tribute to SPC Casey Sheehan - for he is definitely not getting his just due and recognition for his voluntary service and sacrifice to his brothers and his country!
I am serious!

You Bet Hondo Mr. Stokely is just the face of the day they all deserve a post(a bit hard to do). Including Casey. So while w are thinking of Mr. Stokley dont' forget the others. Comments are welcome here but be sure to get over to Mudville as I think that's where his dad will probably see em.

NO IT'S OFF TOPIC. I'm just using my "editorial control" as background pointed out the other day. Darn forgot to check and see if the IP's were the same. Take it to another thread. Or I'll come sing drunken westerns at the next Funeral you have.

Howie,
I've decided to have just one funeral, but I'll welcome your drunken westerns.

Speaking of funerals...
I wonder how much blood it will take to water the rose bush of democracy (theocracy) in Iraq.
It's a very thirsty bush.

Greg. Better watch it my singing is terribleand I meant like the next funeral your family has. You know greg might have more than one though he's kind of persistant. How you doing? Sorry about that delete thing. Even I get fed up now and then. Of course y'all knew I would hate that on this thread and that's why you do it. When I do my post tomorrow it will be wide open I swear.

Greg spills his anti-war agenda on a thread honoring a dead soldier, despite the fact he's said the same thing over and over again, somehow he thinks it's important enough to soil a memorial thread.
Remember that, when they tell you: I support our troops, I just don't support the War

Greg,
looks like democracy to me. Higher voter turnout over in Iraq than here at home.
And don't forget, there isn't anything of value that doesn't come with a high cost (I guess you Libs have become accustomed to getting everything for free).

It didn't mean anything to me either when I was a Lib. That's how I know Libs are full of shit when they whine about people questioning their patriotism.
They aren't patriots, they're internationalists (i.e., traitors).

Carlos,
Iraq's new government is in fact an Islamic theocracy.
That's the last thing that Israel and the U.S. wanted.

that's fine. As long as they play ball.

The new Iraqi gov is an islamic theocracy 'cause greg says so ...
ergo - the whole Iraq thing is a failure 'cause greg says so ...
This is a failure for the US & Israel (note their the one's actually incharge of everything and getting what they want) 'cause they didn't get what they want -
(I'm still trying to figure this one out) - but anyway, 'cause greg says so ...
Its all a failure 'cause greg says so - and desperately needs it to be so - 'cause he's bet the farm on failure.

And someone (I believe furiousrosepetal or something like that) said this was a racist board! Maybe she was partially right.
Seems to me most peoples harsh comments are directed at the ideological aspects of islam - but greg - aaaahhh greg
... wants to make it ethnic and racial - in an intellectually progressive kinda way.
Oh well! Hope greg has a car so when he loses the farm he has a place to shit and sleep.

They admire each others "performance" are are obvious to the fact that (YES) some libs and many moderates sllllooowwwly move away from them - like the Bench story in "Alice's Restaurant".

I cannot wait for next years elections, to watch these guys once again cry into their Starbucks Latte (low fat, skimmed milk, frothe -- with a whisp of Cinnamon) at their defeat again!
It will be classic, they will yet again lose all sense of reality, blame everyone but themselves and there will be wet bedsheets all over America, and much handwringing.
It's one of the things I can't wait for next year, yet another Kleenex moment for the Left, the usual claims of Jesusland, and how they're leaving America etc.

If anyone's interested - back in the early/mid '90s various LEAs began accessing and partially monitoring free email services as part of drug investigations. Free fly-by-night email acounts and corner payphones had become a major communication vehicle for the drug trade.
Still probably done and possibly (ha) expanded since 9/11.
Service providers were very plyable in agreeing since this was freebees and it gave them leverage in securing privacy rights and requirements with their paying(!) customers.
Same too many land-line street phone providers. It gave them leverage in negotiating placement contracts. Note, these are small companies - the large name firms are almost completely out of this side of communications.
Useful information for the wannabe lil' anarchists out there.

You are so simple minded I cannot even fathom how you are able to use the Internet, perhaps your mother ducttapes a pencil to the corner of your mouth for you to hunt and peck the keyboard with, and periodically changes out your diaper and drool tray.
When you're not posting here, you're most likely filling in a color-me-elmo picture your mommy brought for you on your trip to toys-r-us funded by the make a wish foundation, using a chunky blue Crayola, outside the lines I might add. I feel sorry for you, it must be awful going through life dead from the waist down, and braindead from the neck up.

Hondo, i knew you were a computer. i just knew it. and its called "artist" not anarchist, and no you dont scare anybody with your techie geekboy info. If You screwballs dont like this, stop responding. If you respond i smile and laugh and think it is funny.
Now, am i happy you idiots are helping destroy the american republic? NO. AM i happy you think like a computers and have lost your soul? NO. Am i happy you are turning the USA, a country my grandad spent time in little adolphs work camp for? NO
and by that note screw your "patriotism"...obedience to arbitrary executive power is NEVER patriotic, not in a republic anyway.
im a conservative.i think hillary and bill suck. i laugh at your "liberal" nonsense. you folks arent conservatives but STATISTS.(again, i'd call you nazis but the smell of the USSR is too strong). sorry ron paul.
sometimes i wonder what really happened to this country. you really want to argue it was the hippies? OR is it about monarchy, monopoly captitalism, and the rise of finance over work. Your call.
anyway. dont take this crap seriously. it is not real, and that comes from the heart.
anyway, im tired and done having fun with you. have fun talking about how everyone and everything sucks and should be jailed or killed, or whatever makes you happy.

Best thing that can be said about Casey Sheehan is may he rest in peace. At least, he is finally away from his mother. Which is probably the reason he joined the military. If I had a traitorous mother like her I would join the foreign legion.

Listen people, we need to get this out. Spread it around. show your family and friends, people need to read about SGT Michael "Mike" James Stokely. We need to counter the "cindy sheehans" and show other that true heros are fighting for freedom and raising sons like SGT Michael "Mike" James Stokely. Keep saying his name " SGT Michael "Mike" James Stokely " let the rest of America know him and thank his father and family for raising a true hero for all of us to look up to.
