Brother back from Iraq for wedding



Saturday was a special day for two reasons for Brian Hites. First, he was getting married, and second, his brother was home from fighting in Iraq. Above, Robert Hites, right, pins a boutonniere on Brian at the Girard Eagles building, where the wedding ceremony took place. Robert, who is with the Army's 101st Airborne Division, is on a two-week leave. He is stationed at Fort Campbell, Ky. At left, Brian and his bride, Laurie Smith, walk down the aisle after exchanging their vows. They are from North Lima. Canfield Mayor Lee Frey performed the civil ceremony.
