Hey, my parents married really young and it wasn't because they felt that they had to, they wanted to. They've been married 64 years and wouldn't know what to do without one another, so I think it really doesn't matter in many ways how young you are, it has to do with the individual couple, right?! It was wonderful that you and your husband were there for them as well as the others who participated and I'm sure this young couple truly appreciates it and it will leave them with lots of loving, kind memories to always cherish. God bless you and your husband and this young couple with His blessings. Thanks for sharing this very uplifting, personal story. <br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Lisa Lisanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-66733388811366079602012-11-05T11:10:37.443-06:002012-11-05T11:10:37.443-06:00Hmmm....

While I am humbled by your gratitude to us, it was nothing compared to what they are willing to do for us and our country. I saw so much dedication and commitment from so many young couples just like them (many with children less than a year old), and believe me they are stronger than I think I could be in the same situation. The thing that bothers me more than anything else is, is that there needs to be more interaction between the American people and our military. I worry that we are two exclusive groups that really need to know and support each other. I worry that they are so secluded within their "brotherhood", and the public is so immersed in their day-to-day lives, that we lose sight of each other in what should be a mutual support system. We are just trying to do our small part in letting them know we care. Just wish I could do something every day! It truly is hard to drive away from these young heroes and their families. I'm just thankful that God has given us a way to show others that He loves them. And THANK YOU for your service, too! It's your love of this country and our military that cements our friendship. Just chalk it up to another one of those "coincidences" that God is so good about arranging!

I'm so glad you and PLW were able to be such a supportive part in it.<br />In ordinary circumstances, I would probably caution them about being so young, too. But this isn't an ordinary circumstance. And these aren't two ordinary young people. I wish them every happiness, full recovery, and a long lifetime together. <br />(And as an aside, I don't think either their families fully realize how much Robert and Crystal will be stronger together as a married couple in the Army than just being engaged. The family services they can access now will give them a wonderful start and help to sustain them into a healthy life.)<br />From previous conversations, you know I often struggle with my faith. It is every-day miracles like this and godly people like you & PLW that do more to strengthen me than anything else.<br />You often say that you are grateful for veterans' service. Let me say that it was and is the honor of every service member to know America is made of people like you.<br />Thank you so much.<br />- GEJ<br />(I seem to have gotten something in my eye...looking forward to your future posts.)<br /><br />Green Eyed Jinnnoreply@blogger.com
