PFC Lynch engaged
Edited for brevity.Former prisoner of war Pfc. Jessica Lynch plans to visit her fianceâs family this Thanksgiving and to marry Army Sgt. Ruben Contreras in June, the groom-to-beâs mother said. Lynch, 20, and Contreras met almost two years ago at a Taco Bell near Fort Bliss, Texas, where they were stationed. Contreras is stationed in Texas while Lynch is scheduled for a round of media appearances this month. The couple eventually could end up in Colorado Springs. Contreras said he hopes to leave the Army next year and become a juvenile probation officer. âItâll be tough, but I like working with kids,â he said. He said he is applying to the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs and wants to settle in town. Lynch received multiple offers for full-ride scholarships at several WV universities after stating her intent to become a teacher. Guess she wonât be taking them up on the offer after all.
