"A father's grief, visible"

Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter Moni Basu profiles a father whose son was killed a year ago in Iraq. The AJC included this note about the story:

AJC reporter Moni Basu was in Iraq, embedded with the Georgia Army National Guard's 48th Brigade Combat Team when Sgt. Michael Stokely was killed. On Aug. 19, 2005, she covered his memorial service in Mahmudiyah. After reading Basu's story, Michael's father, Robert Stokely, contacted her. Over the next 12 months, Basu exchanged e-mails with him and, after the brigade's return in May, documented his life without his son. This story is a result of her observations and interviews.
