A woman went into labor the same day her husband was coming home from Iraq. Although the doctor told her not to go, she jumped in her SUV and drove to the airport to pick him up.
Oh, and the airport was three hours away:
She says she really wanted her husband to be there for the birth because he was in Iraq during her pregnancy.
When the plane with about 300 soldiers landed last week, commanders directed U.S. Army Spc. Melvin Ortiz to leave the aircraft first. He sprinted to the hangar, hugged his wife and they hopped into an SUV.
They then rushed to a suburban Milwaukee hospital, where a healthy 7 pound, 8 ounce boy named Eduardo was born.
Congratulations!
