Saudi Arabia on the 17th of January, 1991, at 12:00am
By Tim B
I was in the military (USAF) stationed in Germany and my now wife was also in the USAF stationed in San Antonio, TX.
We did not know each other. We were both deployed to Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm "The Gulf War" and we met for the first time in Saudi Arabia on her birthday, the day the war started on Jan 17th under the incredibly bright stars of Saudi Arabia.
God blessed me with her that day. We were stationed together at a forward operating base near the Iraq border. We became close friends and when I got back to Germany and she returned to San Antonio, TX we began communicating more and more and eventually began a relationship and then married.
We now have two grown children and live in Austin, TX. Tomorrow, March 11th, is our 27th wedding anniversary and I plan to give this to her as a gift. She is my queen and deserves the very best I can give her every day of the year.
