Welcome to Free Republic, Faith. Don't pay any attention to the cynics. Best wishes to you both.

Dear Faith,

Just wanted to let you know my post was meant tongue-in-cheek: I certainly do not question his bravery in any situation :)

Congratulations!

Hi FWPatriot,

I was merely teasing you. My website is http://www.rayandfaith.com/inlove and I know that it took a lot for him to propose on live tv because he is the most quiet and most shy person you would ever meet. Thank you so much for the congratulations. I can't tell you just how happy I am that we are engaged.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

This is such a great story! Congratulations and good luck to both of you! Welcome to Free Republic!

And give your fiance a big hug from all of us who appreciate his service to this great country of ours!!!!

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

What a cute daughter too! Boy are you lucky!
If you don't mind, I'll go ahead and post that wonderful picture you have on your terrific website right here:

Ain't love grand?! We live in such a great country where companies like Tostidos and organizations like USO can make these kinds of things happen for our good young people.

[Larry Lucido]

Yep! :-)

Love is grand, and I have finally updated my site as well. :-) http://www.rayandfaith.com/inlove Thanks again to everyone for making this possible.
