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.

My 18 year old son just yesterday swore his oath for the USMC reserves, so my support for our troops has become very personal.Don-O, please thank your son for me. I know you must feel 10 feet taller with pride right now. You raised a good man.

Actually, Jack, I feel small and humbled. He is so far ahead of where I was as an 18 year old.
But, I also feel the love and support I can get from my FR family. I made mention of this on the end of last night’s Levin thread and each post back was received with gratitude.
