"Before we start our wedding ceremony we wanted to take a moment and thank a very special member of our family. You may have noticed the beautiful young lady that walked down here with our little jellybean. This isn't because she asked first or we didn't know who else should carry her down the aisle. Melissa and the sacrifices of herself and her late husband SSG Jamie jarboe are the very reason we are here today.
Some of you know her and know her story but for those of you who don't, Jamie was shot in the neck by a sniper in Afghanistan at the very same fob that myself and some of you called home. He fought for his life for nearly year before taking his last breath. One of his dying wishes was that Melissa take care of his brothers and sisters in arms. Melissa spent the next few years of her life creating the Military Veteran Project, she did anything and everything she could to help soldiers and their families with any issues they were having. She helped Allie and her then husband with his ptsd and anger issues as well as provide her the resources necessary to help keep herself and her children safe from him after he tried to take her life. Melissa also helped me straighten out my medical care and any issues I was having. If it weren't for these two amazingly selfless people, Allie and I would have never met and we all would not be standing or sitting here today. So we thought it was only appropriate that Melissa carried down the life that was created from the loss of her husbands life and to know that he did not fight and die in vain and that their sacrifices will never be forgotten. His memory will live on in the most beautiful way possible. Another life. Thank you Melissa for everything you've done, not only for us but for all our brothers and sisters. At this time I ask that we all take a moment of silence to thank SSG Jamie jarboe for the sacrifices he made for his country and family." -Zac Gore

My life was destroyed when my husband sent me packing, after 13 years we have been together. I was lost and helpless after trying so many ways to my husband back to me. One day at work, I was distracted, not knowing that my boss called me, so he sat and asked me what it was all about, I told him and he smiled and said it was no problem. I never understood what he meant by it was no problem getting back my husband, he said he used a spell to get back his wife when she left him for another man, and now they are together till date and initially I was shocked hearing something from my boss. He gave me an email address of the Prophet Abuvia which helped him get his wife back, I never believed that this would work, but I had no choice coming into contact with the sayings that I get done, and he asked for my information and that my husband was able to propose to throw him the spell and I sent him the details, but after two days, my mother called me that my husband was pleading that he wants me back, I never believed, because it was just a dream and I had to rush off to my mother's place and to my greatest surprise, was kneeling my husband beg me for forgiveness that he wants me and the child back home, when I gave prophet Abuvia a conversation regarding sudden change of my husband and he made clear to me that my husband will love me until the end of the world, that he will never leave for another woman. Now me and my husband is back together and started doing funny things he has not done before, he makes me happy and do what it is supposed to do as a man without nagging. Please if you need help of any kind need, please contact Prophet Abuvia for help. His email is prophet.abuvia AT g m a i l . com his website is prophetabuviasolutiontemple. webs . com

That made this old vet weep. The honor is indeed deserved and I am glad this was posted . I never met Jamie but prayed for him all that year and have continued to be amazed at the lengths Melissa has gone to to fulfill his wishes.
