MSG Stanley joined 32nd Op series in 2008 in our organizations first event.  He has proven a valuable player with his real life experience as a US Soldier, and as a fellow airsofter.  His training and experience has been given to many players on and off of the field.  All that have had the pleasure in playing with MSG Stanley have advanced in knowledge on the field in several ways.  He is an inspiration to so many players in airsoft, and I can say it has been an honor to know him and share the field with him.  A true patriot
