[back dated April 29th 2005]I was sitting and reading our newspaper
here European and Pacific Stars and Stripes Weds April 27th 2005 and
came across this article titled:Marriage By Mail. As I started reading
it, I said to myself NOW this is something EVERY state should ALLOW and
start doing for the soldiers and their girlfriends or fiance'. Here is a
little but of the article:
After
several soldiers in his unit were killed last November, Lt. Ping, of
the 1st Cavalry Division at Fort Hood, worried about his 22-year-old
fiancee's future if he were injured or killed before they were married.
The pair had been planning a traditional ceremony for months before his
deployment in April 2003.

Thought This Was Kinda Neat:)
"If
you're not married, it's a lot harder to get on posts, and it's harder
to get help," Jamie Ping said. "There are support groups if you're
married. This just made him more comfortable, in case anything were to
happen."
S&B
Inc. owners Sam and Barbara Geller said that's exactly the scenario
they were thinking about when they launched their business in early
2004.
We
see a number of cases where a woman is pregnant or has a small child,"
he said. "You want them to have access to the full military benefits." Most
of their clients had their dream weddings pushed back because of
military deployment, and are anxious for the legal recognition even if
the traditional walk down the aisle is still months away

very good, maybe someone can get this started so that more soldiers can get married to their sweethearts downrange. Now that is bringing the JOY to the soldiers and their families left behind.
Okay thanks for reading, thought this was worth sharing.. I know if this were my soldier and I we would of done this ASAP if he were deployed and we weren't married yet!!!!!!! About time something like this happens.
Hugs and Prayers
