Ace spent time in Iraq and came home with a bad case of PTSD. If it hadn't been for Prez and the men he now calls brothers, Ace would more than likely have ended up in a mental institution somewhere. He still had "war zone" episode but so long as he took his medication, they were not as frequent. Dot had spent the last 5 years on one of the most powerful destroyers in the US Navy as one of only a few women with over 200 men. She had worked hard to earn her rank of Captain but she was getting burned out. When the message had come through that her only sister had been killed in a car accident and that her niece and nephew needed her, she hadn't hesitated for a second. Thankful that Rear Admiral Daniels had been on board when the message came through, he pushed the paperwork through for her to be airlifted back to the mainland and she "retired" from service with her rank and benefits in place. An 11 hour plane ride from there to New York, several hours waiting for a connecting flight and then a 4 hour plane ride to Lexington had been exhausting but nothing could have prepared her the gorgeous hunk of man who was standing at the foot of the stairs when she entered the Rescuer's clubhouse!
