The pictures are great, but the article is very sad. This young man had to wait 5 months for an appointment with a psychologist. This shouldn't BE .. this shouldn't happen to our young military men. We owe them a hell of a lot more than that !!!

It is quite sad, but I pray for a bright future for him and his lovely bride; and he resides in a grateful nation. Mistakes are made, true, but usually swiftly corrected. Let us hope that all things, for all our warriors, improve.

We wish you both all the happiness my husband and I have had over the years - 40 years to be precise. Always accord each other the same politness you would offer to a stranger. A "Thank You" and "You're Welcome" and no screaming. God Bless both of you.

"What do you say to someone who does something for you like that?" he would say, again and again. "What do you say?"

That part is easy, Blake. What do I say to each and every one of you who have gone to fight the war? What do I say?

May God bless the union of Blake and Jessica.

I loved the title of the NY Post's caption:
