Another PH recipient came home to Mt. Juliet, TN today. SPC Michael Stansbury, who joined the Army in 2007 right after high school, was killed by an IED in the Kandahar province in Afghanistan on July 30.
Cars began to line up along the main road into Mt Juliet at 7:30 am. The local police, sheriff’s deputies, and state troopers went to the airport to escort SPC Stansbury home for the last time. My wife had dropped my daughter off at school and waited along the road also. At approximately 9:35 a.m. the precession passed by as people who love this country stopped everywhere and paid their respects to a young hero.
Prayers lifted.
