'I cannot wait ... to start our married life together'
![]() I would like to honor my husband, SPC Peter Ricketts, serving in Iraq. We were just married in Sept 21, 2007, after being friends for over 20yrs. Peter re-enlisted in July, 2007. In October, he went to Ft. Lewis, WA from Ft. Lee, VA. In November, he was deployed. So, we haven't started our new life together as we were living in Miami and he is stationed in Ft. Lewis, WA. I cannot wait for him to come back home so we can start our married life together. Please keep him and all the troops and their families in your prayers. Thanks for opening your hearts and minds to all those affected by the war. -- Angela Nottage-Ricketts of North Miami Beach, Florida
