Johana Ortiz looks on as her husband U.S. Army Spc. Melvin Ortiz holds their son, Eduardo, Thursday, Jan. 14, 2010, in West Allis, Wis. Not even labor contractions could keep Johana Ortiz from seeing her husband the moment the Wisconsin guardsman returned home from Iraq. Defying her doctor's orders, Johana drove three hours Wednesday to meet her husband, U.S. Army Spc. Melvin Ortiz, continuing the journey even after labor contractions began. (AP Photo/DInesh Ramde)
