Marine Known as "Marlboro Man" Weds


http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2006/06/11/MNGSHJCDDK1.DTL

With a surgeon's care, James Blake Miller adjusted the two rows of ribbons on the coat of his Marine Corps dress blues. Then he adjusted them again. And again.

He pulled on the coat, cinched the white belt that fit a bit more snugly than when he left the Marines in November, carefully adjusted the collar.

"After this," he muttered, "I ain't wearing the mother -- again unless I'm buried in it."

He slid a pack of Marlboros into a sock -- nothing goes in the pockets of a Marine's dress blues -- and walked outside.

In the five months since The Chronicle revisited the story of Miller -- who became known as the "Marlboro Man" after a photo of him smoking during a break in combat in Iraq was published in hundreds of newspapers in November 2004 -- everything and nothing had happened to him and his wife, Jessica.

Best of luck to you Jessica and James.

Make it double!
To protect the world from devestation!
To unite all peoples within our nation !
To denounce the evils of truth and love!
To extend our reach to the stars above!
Jessie! James!
Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!
Surrender now, or prepare to fight!
Meowth! That's right!


AKKKK! My kid was about 8 years old at the height of the Pokemon craze. I can't tell you how many of my brain cells are being wasted still retaining that stuff...

No soldier should worry when he comes home about finding a mate. Is that a better case for gay marriage
