Dear Lcpl Stanley Burgess,
Thank you for your service as a Rifleman. It is important for us all to acknowledge the sacrifices of those like you who answered our nation's call. Please watch over America, it stills needs your courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

Hey Stanley, I am your cousin, Sherry Hankins McKee, my mother and your mother are sisters, however both of them have passed on. WE are cousins. I only remember meeting you one time. On Roosevelt Street, in Granite City Il. I guess I was about 13. It was before you joined the Marines. I remember answering the door and it was you. I do not remember any other time of us meeting. I know everyone was proud of you and sad when you were killed. I have researched things about you, for our Family History. I sent a lot of it to your mother, Norma. She and I talked on the phone through out the years. Proud to have you for a cousin, and Thank you for all you have done. Hugs!
