I met Captain Francis Desmond on an online dating site two years ago. I enjoyed our chats and began planning my day so we'd be online at the same time. After 3 months of these chats he declared his love for me and asked me to marry him. Since then we've shared many ups and downs. He's been shot and I've had 2 surgeries. Despite the distance our love has grown. His deployment to Kabul is very difficult but it's given me a new appreciation for his sacrifice and the sacrifice of his troop's families. He's never turned his back on me and never judged me by my disability. I know once he returns home he'll show me the same dedication and selfless service he's shown his country. There are many heroes we see in movies but my personal hero is this officer in Afghanistan
