Mr. Obama, Recognize This Marriage!

"U.S. authorities do not recognize the marriage, even though the military does" — Proxy wedding means Marine's widow, baby unwelcome. The story:

Hotaru Ferschke just wants to raise her 8-month-old son in his grandparents' Tennessee home, surrounded by photos and memories of the father he'll never meet: a Marine who died in combat a month after marrying her from thousands of miles away.

To hell with the lickspittles at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services [sic]; a far nobler institution is stepping up: "[t]he Marines are paying survivor benefits to Ferschke and her baby."
