A patriotic family

Perry County News:

Marine Cpl. Sally Saalman, injured in a car-bomb attack last week in Iraq, is continuing a proud family tradition of military service.

Older sister Kelly Latini, contacted Monday at the Leopold home of her parents, Mark and Tammy Saalman, served three years in the Navy.

"It makes me feel like I need to be over there, that I needed to do more time (in the service)," she said about her response to news of the attack. "I kind of feel guilty, but I have my children to take care of."

Sally Saalman received a call while serving in Okinawa, her mother said Monday, asking if she'd be willing to go to Iraq. Military women were needed to search Iraqi females at checkpoints in Fallujah.

She readily volunteered, saying she didn't have children to think about, as other Marines do, Tammy Saalman said, and moved from Okinawa to Iraq in February.

The main stream media seems to find disgruntaled family member stories more news worthy. Perry County is in Indiana. Have a speedy recovery Cpl. Saalman.
