Though some 250 U.S. military advisers will remain in Thailand, U.S. authorities designated Davis as a symbol of the last regular American forces to leave the country-and, in fact, all of Southeast Asia...

...Revere (his real name) will be performing. The couple met five years ago on July 4, and "that's why we chose the date for our wedding," claims the groom-to-be. Wait, there's more: officiating at the ceremony will be the Rev. Gene Skipworth of Cincinnati, who will perform the honors dressed in an Uncle Sam costume...
