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.

Ok, I’m not a vet, but a proud son of one (WWII, Pacific Theater). Does that qualify me for sister consideration, should you nephew be hooked up already?
