The loved ones of this brave hero are in my thoughts and prayers…

“I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your breavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours, to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of Freedom”

(Abraham Lincoln)

Thank you, too, Wendi. I watched your moving tribute to your son. I was amazed at your strength.

When we ask, “Where do we find such men?” as the Cody Stanley’s of the world, it’s obvious after you meet their parents and see the towns where they grew up.

God bless you and your family; may he continue to provide you the comfort that you need.

Thank you, Robbie, for such a beautiful tribute to our son. Both your photos and your story truly capture the essence of Cody and all that he stood for. We watched over him for almost 22 years and now he’s watching over us until we see him again. God bless all of our troops and keep them safe in His love.

I read this with very mixed emotions. My heart hurts for the void that I know is left for this family and community. I’m a mom an Army infantry soldier. They may not be in the same branch, but they all these young men and women are heroes as they serve. Cody gave the ultimate.
