Incredible.

I'm looking for more photos. This one was from a year ago where Charles Homer, a Pearl Harbor survivor, reaches out to recovering warrior Pfc. Alejandro Albarran on December 7, 2006, the 65th anniversary of the attack that launched the United States into World War II.

[Tax-chick]

My goodness! Best wishes to the couple, and their child.

Spc. Alejandro "Alex" H. Albarran, Jr. gives his wife Janay a big hug after she graduates Basic Combat Training Friday, Dec. 7, 2007, at Fort Jackson, S.C.

I admire the wife's willingness to enlist but I disagree with it.That family has done its bit for this country.His wife's main duty is to take care of her wounded husband.

(Donning flame retardant suit now)

[StnCldTruth]

And the Democraps would have you believe that
the spirit and character of this country is
dead or dying...I think not

[texpat72]

...and their two year old child.

[SIDENET]

I wish more people had that type of spirit.

(salute)

[tioga]

-call me old fashioned.....but I agree. She should be HIS helpmate during this time in his life.

[tioga]

God bless them.

..and when the other kids tease her about her saying her Mom wears Combat Boots she can tell em; “Yep,.. and she can KICK ALL YER MOM’s BUTTS with em too!”

[Larry Lucido]

I don’t know where their families are originally from, but I’ll take another 1000 just like them right now!

[Petronski]

Please forgive me, but I must say something here.

He lost part of a leg. When he said “Right now, I’m leaning against it,” was he trying to be funny in the face of adversity, or is this simply a poor choice of phraseology?

[Mr. Lucky]

Perhaps she’s more concerned with the wound to his spirit than the wound to his leg.

[Cagey]

I can’t come up with a strong argument against your pointbut I sure as hell admire their spirit.

I hope she gets assigned close by.

[TASMANIANRED]

Blessings on them.

[Hot Tabasco]

When he said “Right now, I’m leaning against it,” was he trying to be funny in the face of adversity, or is this simply a poor choice of phraseology?

Until any of us talks directly with him, we will never know will we?

I no longer speculate on meanings behind the words spoken by anyone that has been put into print by the MSM.........

...but I sure as hell admire their spirit.

Absolutely!

I hope she gets assigned close by.

One would hope that the Army would,at the very least,keep her stateside at a post where her husband could get the care he needs.

[95B30]

He is a Corporal ( two stripes) not a Specialist (Shield with an Eagle).

God Bless ‘em both though!

Oh,c'mon.It's a commonly used phrase.
