Wow! Six months from now, that Marine is going to think to himself "I need to apply for assignment in Iraq again; I need the sleep." Only problem will be the mother will call HQ and take the assignment for herself!

Good for them - hope it all goes well.

The Hortons met while he was in the Marine Corps and she was in the Navy. Both completed their service and moved to Oswego, but decided after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks that one of them should re-enlist. Horton enlisted in the Marine Reserves.

May God look out for this patriotic and greatly expanded family!

i can't begin to describe my gratitude to this family. Perhaps there will be a fund established to help them...

This, my friends, is courage - to fight under fire, then live bravely with the consequences of your choices. I want htem to know I cannot ever thank them enougth for what they did for me -and everyone else in America.

I talked this morning to the father of the high risk OB/GYN that delivered these babies. He was at a Cheney Town Hall Meeting I attended in Milwaukee and asked the vice president about the escalating costs of malpractice insurance for doctors such as his daughter.
The answer was crystal clear- limits to punitive damages along with limits to the percentage the Edwarian lawyers confiscate. (my term, not Cheney's)
