These two got married about a year and a handful of months ago. They've been through a lot and now Jason has gone and joined the Marines. That crazy kid! He'll be gone to basic training...no contact with Jessica, or anyone for that matter, for 13 weeks. They wanted some pics before he took off so the day before he left to California we took off to Silvan Beach in LaPorte...just a few miles from my house.

I admire Jason for joining the military during war time. My cousin Sam served his time over there and is now stationed in the good ol' USA. Can I hear a "God bless America"?

Thanks Jason for serving our country so we can live in the land of the free...home of the brave...
