Lance Corporal Cody Stanley: Small Town Country Boy, Big Time Hero
Cody was a typical small town, rural Texas boy. He loved, beyond all things, his pick up truck. He loved to hunt and fish with his high school buddies, with whom he spent summers baling and stacking hay for extra money. He played sports and was active in the FFA. According to his mom, he was the kind of kid who could (and did) drive the wheels off of a Mule.

PGR: Funeral Mission for SGT Gabe Green of Yorktown, TX
