EAU CLAIRE, Wis. — Kerry Stranahan went into the abortion clinic expecting a normal, run-of-the-mill vag vacuum, but ended up getting the surprise of her life when her husband, Staff Sgt. Rory Stranahan, was waiting for her in the recovery room.
Stranahan, a wheeled-vehicle mechanic with 1-128 Michigan National Guard, received approval from his commander for an early return after serving in Afghanistan for almost nine months.
“You always see those commercials and YouTube videos where guys surprise their wives at baseball games or county fairs, you know? And those Steel Reserve commercials?” said Stranahan, holding his wife’s hand. “But Kerry’s not into baseball, I only drink obscure hipster craft beers, and the fair isn’t for two more months, so I thought this would be the best opportunity.”
