Marine's Girl has a new post up. Read it. In case you haven't been reading her before now, just know that she's one heck of a feisty woman who lives with her son, Danny, in Michigan, while her fabulous boyfriend, who's a Marine, is in Iraq.

She's been trying to get a discharge for her guy, so he can come back and help look after her.
