<<Stanley is one of our missing who served in the US Armed Forces during the Vietnam War. He returned from his service traumatized, as many veterans do, and his mental and emotional health suffered as a result of the demons he fought within himself.

Stanley turned to alcohol to cope, something not uncommon when it comes to service members. He moved to Wolf Creek, and experienced the loss of a close family member.

Stan was already on shaky ground in terms of his mental health. There were not enough resources for him to battle his PTSD, depression, and the other painful things swirling through his mind.

While Stan is still missing, while there is a chance that he could be out there somewhere, his last contact with his loved ones paints a picture of a man who had nowhere to turn, and who had likely given up.

The casualties of war do not always just mean those who died during wartime.

Sometimes, the war continues within. If Stan lost his personal battle after he came home, he still deserves to be remembered, to be laid to rest by the people who love him. To be honored.>>
