They showed the video on the news this morning; Sgt. Smith said his toast and without missing a beat, said "fire in the hole" in a calm manner (as only an explosives expert could). As soon as he said that, a huge fireball erupted in the background-AWESOME!
Although he had to miss the wedding, if anything was "the next best thing to being there", this was it. I got goosebumps watching it!

We're told that's when his tour of duty is over. Thank you Master Sergeant for your service to your country.

"fire in the hole" I found this phrase useful on my wedding night as well.

The new Mrs. Smith planned it all; even Bill's parents didn't know. Sounds to me like the Smith family is very lucky to be joined by this fine young lady. God bless her.
