And she still loves me!! I left for Nam the day after returning from my Honeymoon--I knew her dad would never let her be with me on R&R if we were not married, so gave them a couple months to put together the wedding.

Ranger garydolan,
Congrats that is something to be proud off, and it gives those of us single ones some hope that finding bliss in marriage is possible, thanks for the example.
Here's to 39 plus more for you and your bride.
