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.

A name is a name and yours is beautiful. What’s more important is what’s in your heart. Your story brought tears to this crusty old sailor’s eyes. Your husband gave so much more to his country than most anybody else, and this comes from a 20 year Navy vet.
May God bestow his loving grace and blessings on you two and your marriage.
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen

Blessings to you both, Brandi and Josh. It is truly a miracle when two people meet, fall in love and overcome all obstacles to be together. Love stories like yours don’t happen often, and I believe God must have His Hand on your union.

RE: “What’s wrong with my name?”
The answer is ...nothing. What IS wrong is some folks on this board who feel the need to fire off smartassed remarks, no matter what. Ignore them.
I join in welcoming you to the board and thanks to grok for the ping.
My 18 year old son just yesterday swore his oath for the USMC reserves, so my support for our troops has become very personal.
