Throngs crowded the streets of Manhattan Sunday, as they do each Veterans Day, celebrating and remembering Americans who endured great hardships for their country.

CNN SHOWCASE
US-Iraq-Father-Journey-Stokely -- By Moni Basu
Robert Stokely fired up his computer and began a journey to a place an ocean and continent away, to a land of parched earth and dusty brush not far from the banks of the Euphrates. Yusufiya. It is the Iraqi town where Robert's son Mike was killed on a hot August night in 2005. A place that haunted him. Robert showed me his Google Earth mapping ritual the first time I met him in his office in suburban Atlanta. It was almost a year after Mike's death, and he was tortured by the thought that he might die without ever seeing where his son fell. Now, when I meet him for lunch at a sports bar more than six years later, it is as though a great weight has been lifted.
