SMITHDALE --A Mississippian who lost both legs in Iraq has married his girlfriend in a hospital-room ceremony.
Army Spec. Josh A. Wells, 21, married Brandi M. Clark, 19, in a Nov. 20 ceremony at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio.
Wells was injured in a Nov. 2 attack on the Stryker Light Armored Vehicle he was driving.
The couple dated throughout Wells' previous deployment to Germany and were engaged in July, with a plan to marry upon his return from an 18-month tour of duty in Iraq.

Marrying young can be tough. May God help them get through their struggles and bless them with a long and wonderful life together. Concur.

With a woman like that he’ll be married forever. He’s luckier than most guys with two legs, and I hope he knows it.

Please don’t take the slight on your name too personally.
You two have made many a tough old vet tear up with your love and devotion to one other.
God has blessed you and you have blessed us. My prayers are that you will have a happy life together and lots of children. This nation needs all the youth it can get raised by the sort of loving parents you two will become. You make our nation proud and strong!

Regarding post #2...You need to take that up with him, as his is the only mention I see.
Could be he wasn't as blessed & fortunate with a girl of the same name.
