Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

While busy Ran­cho Mirage real estate agent Christina Cook serves her clients, here in the desert, her hus­band serves his coun­try on the other side of the globe. 

My hus­band, Cap­tain Sean Mer­lin is an Active Duty offi­cer in the U.S. Marine Corps. He has been an offi­cer in the Marine Corps for 13 years. He is cur­rently deployed in Oki­nawa Japan for one year return­ing July 2010. He has served three terms in Iraq and was there when our son was born (now 5 years old). My hus­band was recently pro­moted to Major and will have his new rank offi­cial in Jan­u­ary,” boasts a very proud Christina. Con­tact Christina at www.christinacook.windermeresocal.com

La Quinta agent Sherri Forbes also has some­one to be proud of on this upcom­ing Veteran’s Day.

I haven’t served in the mil­i­tary, but my future son in law has,” says Sherri. “He was in the Army and served in Iraq. His name is Travis Smith. Born in Kalispell, Mon­tana, he cur­rently resides in Libby, Mon­tana (Where we live for part of the year) and is a Lin­coln County Sher­iff in Libby. He is a gem of a man, has the biggest heart, the fun­ni­est sense of humor I have ever seen and so loves his country!”
