'My future husband and my hero'
![]() This is my fiance Lt. Nicholas Bajema who is serving with the U.S. Army, 82nd Airborne, 5-73 CAV in Baquba, Iraq. He has been there since August 2006 and just recently was promoted from 2Lt. to Lt. His family and I are so very proud of him and the strength he and his fellow soldiers have had over the last 11 months. This is his first deployment and although he is from Seattle, we met while in college at the University of Arizona in Tucson, Ariz. and we both often joke that it's a good thing he went to college in the desert to know how to deal with the 100-degree plus heat! We all miss him dearly but are overwhelmed with pride for him and his fellow soldiers. -- Tessa Hill of Gilbert, Arizona

Take care over there and hit me up sometime. Fish |
