Deborah Skeldon met her husband, Patrick, on a blind date in Hawaii in 1980. He was a Marine Corps fighter pilot, a Vietnam veteran based at Kaneohe Air Station. The two forged an immediate bond – one that would remain unbroken for decades through the devastating diagnosis of ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease, attributed to his military service. Deborah Skeldon shares her first-person story - fighting for VA recognition, caring for Pat, and the memories of her brave —and funny —Marine.
