Cpl. Pleger Meets Son For 1st Time
In this family photo, you see Marine Cpl. Jacob Pleger seeing his 4-month-old son, Levi, for the first time at Mirimar Air Station/San Diego after de-planing from his second tour of duty in Iraq. Jake, a 2003 graduate of North Idaho Christian School, was about Levi's size when I first met him. In fact, I met Levi before Jake did when his wife, Mandy, brought him to Coeur d'Alene to visit with her parents in law, Earl and Leslie Pleger of Coeur d'Alene. This photo provides another reminder re: how much our military sacrifices to keep us safe. You can also read a brief story from San Diego TV station 6 re: Jake's return here.
