Prayers for her!
My eldest son joined up 18 months ago and is a 91W-Combat Medic. He is shipping out with the 3rd ID for Iraq next month. Right now, he is proposing to a fine young woman he met in AIT stationed at Madigan Army hospital in Washington state. She is also a medical corpsman, and is in training to become a clinical specialist. Mary Ann is a member of the Army reserve from Tennessee, and I suspect will be part of a roundout for a division headed to the M.E. as well.
My son is putting the ring on her finger that my wife wore for all the happy years we had together-unfortunately, she passed on almost two years ago. Despite what some say about todays generation, these kids have as much guts as any-specifically because they have a choice as to whether or not they serve, and are some of the finest soldiers/marines/sailors and airmen I have met.
