It's something Hollywood couldn't even produce. According to "The Pueblo Chieftain," Persian Gulf veteran Captain Steve Belgum of Irvine California "wasn't expecting much" when he began receiving letters from Lynda Severson of Minnesota back in 1991. It was the beginning of Operation Desert Storm when Lynda picked a name off a list, after a friend had urged her to "write to a Marine," that would ultimately end up being Steve. Long story short, the two exchanged letters and began to fall in love. Nearly three years later the two would marry on Memorial Day weekend in Lynda's hometown of Hutchinson, Minnesota. The story of the couples courtship is told in a new book titled "Grace Under Fire: Letters of Faith in Times of War."
