After meeting him once, you will remember him forever

Specialist Wesley Walker is not only the love of my life, but the most amazing person that I've ever met.

After enlisting in the military straight out of high school, he left his friends and family and moved to Fort Bragg, North Carolina. He is constantly giving 100%, regardless of whether or not he feels up to it.

After us only being married for 6 months, he left for Iraq in January of 2009. I never thought I could be so proud of someone as I am of him.

After meeting him once, you will remember him forever. He always can put a smile on your face, even when you're having the worst day. I love Wesley more than anything in the entire world, and am incredibly proud to call such a thoughtful, caring, intelligent, and all around unbelievable person my husband. Every day I'm amazed at how lucky I am.

I never thought at 20 years old that I'd be married, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Wesley makes me proud to call myself an Army wife.

They fight for our country so that people like you actually have the freedom to sit behind a keyboard and criticize. Unless you're willing to pony up and fight for freedom, or run for office and try and make a change in politics, your comments may be best served by keeping them to yourself. Show some respect.

Hi Jason:
I respect your comment and i hate to say but politician will be politician all the time. But our troop are there for you and me and what it count is there unconditional for your freedom. Is not there fault that politician are who they are, but we can not do the same and just be there for them in the best way that we can. That dont mean that your comment is wrong, but for our troop we need to be send them the best of us.
