Lieutenant Colonel Chris Stokes in Afghanistan about to go on his night patrol.

A 41 year old  father of 5 girls from the ages 1 to 17. Three different military tours, two in Iraq and one in Afghanistan. Chris Stokes is a fighter pilot for the United States Air Force. But when he’s not on active duty with the military he flies for United Airlines and owns a business in the Midwest. He has trained his entire life to do what he does overseas so all his friends and family support him and they don’t look for sympathy. Chris does what he loves and ironically doesn’t mind going overseas to fight. According to Chris, “It’s kinda fun going over there. It’s the biggest challenge in life, but I don’t know, it’s hard to explain.”
