I don’t think this is the wedding picture this couple had in mind when they were engaged before the young man was sent to Iraq.
One of the Republican presidential candidates said during the debate that a few thousand U.S. troops have been wounded in Iraq. The official count is actually almost 25,000. How many more young men have to be disfigured like this before this unnecessary war comes to an end?
i am willing to marry my baby if he comes home from iraq like that. he would still be the same on th inside. good luck to the soldiers. i am pround to a millitary man’s girl!
A commendable response indeed! However, what I do fear as a vet is if such support will be rendered in the future because many people simply forget as indicated when triple-amputee Max Cleland was defeated in his bid for reelection to the senate by a man who was deferred because of a high school football injury. I would appreciate your comments on the article by Mike Rodgers in Tokyo “Oh, what a lucky man…..”
hey chris,,,,yeah , its not the perfect wedding . but that marine was wounded and appears that way so your ignorant ass can say what you did…..you should thank those who give you the right to speak. Or would you rather move to Iraq and become a citizen. ill pay for you to move. its people like you who are making this once strong country into a place of bitches and over sensitve people. The man ,,,MAN in this picture should be thanked by us all. I was in iraq for two years, i promise you my friend , youd never make it there!
Iwish those who started this war were as well supportive of it as this vet is enough to make a trip to the nearest recruiting office? As a navy vet who served in the Pacific during World War 2 what does surprise me about this war in Iraq is this lack of such patriotic motivation by such exuberant war supporters.
I personally know this marine. I was in Iraq with him and I remember the day this happened. it was right before christmas when the car bomb hit thier truck. His name is tyler ziegel and he is probably one of the most happiest and most joyful person I know. If you saw the real wedding pictures you would see how happy he is and his wife. They are still together and as happy as ever
This makes me so sad. To think that these men have to endure these difigurations after giving their service to their country. However, I’m happy that he’s still happy with his wife.
I found the complete set of pictures.

Does anyone know if they are still married? Viewing this and reading an article by “Mike Rogers in Tokyo”, “Oh, what a lucky man” is upsetting though i did serve in the Pacific during World War 2.
I saw them on the news recently, they are still married.
Hi Ed: I was wondering if you linked this disturbing photo to an article written by “Mike Roger in Tokyo” if the Bush gang would use it to stimutlate recruitments? Steve
The marriage lasted less than a year. Not surprising when you see the look on her face in that wedding puture.
God bless them. How awful this war has been, and we, all of us Americans, are to blame.
Wow, that is so terrible, i so greatly prey for that man and for the rest of our U.S. troops fighting in Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan, i hope this war ends someday.
My up armour humvee was hit by an EFP this past June and I am still on medical hold. It’s an honor and a privilege to have the opportunity to welcome wounded guys and girls (like myself) back home. To shame those who are wounded because of the love they HAVE for their country is pathetic and deserves immediate explosion over to the Shit, and I don’t mean a FOBIT MOS… I’m an infantryman and once I hopefully REFRAD and re-class, I’ll be working at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, or at Ft. Bragg, NC, for the Wounded Warrior Program.
Aww thats really sad. If my bf came back from Iraq like that I don’t think I could marry him just because it would make me sad, yeah he would still be the same person and id still love him but it would hurt to see him like that. I admire her for going through with it even though she doesn’t look to happy about it.
looks like the beauty and the beast lol
i feel bad for this guy. When i sign up for the Army i pray this will never happen to me. Does anyone know if he’ll ever grow his hair back and start to look better, o r will he stay the same????????
I\’m sure most people will think the same. anway i will need to read twice before i say what i think.
