When school teacher Katie Denisar decided to adopt a Soldier in 2009, little did she know her selfless act of patriotism and educational opportunity for her class of first graders would lead to a marriage proposal.

"I had a small class at Cooke Elementary School in Galesburg, Ill. and thought it would be fun to do a special project that would be more difficult with a larger class," said Katie, now the wife of the Army officer she and her students adopted, Capt. Bradley D. Denisar, currently serving as commander of Headquarters Company, United States Army on Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall.

Denisar was assigned to Fort Campbell, Ky., and deployed to Afghanistan with 4th Bn., 101st Aviation Regiment, also known as Task Force Wings as the S1/task force adjutant when he was adopted by Katie and her students.

Katie said this was a good project for her and her students.
