On August 16, 2005, Loganville's own Sgt. Michael Stokely was killed in Iraq. It was a loss that shook our town and the surrounding area to the very core of our being....
And now, very nearly two years later, Loganville has lost yet another hero.
I am devestated and heartbroken, again. I did not know this hero, or his family...but it makes no matter whether I knew them or not. It still hits very close to home.
Quote:To all the families who have lost their loved ones, and espcially to the family of Spc. Rojas-Gallego, please know that you are very much in our prayers.... I am so sorry for your loss, and my heart cries with you. (((hugs)))
