Not sure what to say?

Tropper Mr JB Stokes....I often just quietly give thanks to common men, who do very uncommon actions such as yourself, to secure this country for us! Please give our thanks to the rest of "The Band of Brothers" awaiting your arrival to be with them again!! Brave, real heroes, our country hurts to see you temporarly leave us!!! Thank you for your saving of our country!!

I met Mr Stokes several times and had the pleasure of introducing my two young sons to this hero. He was so open and gave his time and energy to my kids as they met and talked to the best of the greatest generation.

Thank you Mr Stokes for your service to your country and community!!! Rest in peace!!!

Thank you for your service, Mr. Stokes. You can rest easy now.

Another of our real heroes has gone to rest, and the world is poorer for it.

So sorry. He certainly was an American Hero..May God Bless Robyn and Jeff and Family

Rest in peace Mr. Stokes. You are a true man of honor and courage. Currahee!

I only knew Mr. Stokes for a very short time. I assisted in his care at Silvercreek. He was an amazing man. God bless all his family. He is now with his sweet wife.

GOD bless J.B. Stokes, a true American Hero. "We few, we happy few, we band of brothers. For he today that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother; be never so vile. This...

In honor and memory of J.B. Stokes laid to rest this week, and to all who have fallen in the line of duty, thank you… We'll take it from here....
