this is a pretty moving article from today's WaPo. I believe that there is at least one prominent member of this forum who can personally relate to this story and the travails of this young couple.
I offer my prayers and thanks for them and for every service member - and their loved ones- who have given so much serving the country. I always feel at a loss for words when someone says: "thank you for your service" when I use my retired ID card for some discount or as ID at the airport because I don't really deserve any thanks. But there are thousands of service members who truly deserve far more thanks than I can offer- this soldier and his girl friend are in that category. So - Thank you for your service Lt Berchinsky, and all of the others , and thank you to all those who love and support them.
