Spc. Amanda Perez smiles at husband Sgt. Miguel Perez as they have lunch at Camp Prosperity in Baghdad, Iraq on Tuesday. The Perezes are one of six married couples who deployed to Iraq with the 72nd Infantry Brigade Combat Team, a Texas Army National Guard unit headquartered in Houston. The couple met in the Guard and married at a courthouse in October during a break in training.
