COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - It’s been nearly thirty years since Operation Desert Storm ended on February 28th, 1991. More than 900,000 U.S. troops fought on the ground and in the air for six months to drive Iraqi forces out of Kuwait, which they had invaded months earlier.
Some of the men and women who put their lives on the line during the war are still serving our country today. Gerald and Angela Fambro met in training right before being deployed to Kuwait.

COLUMBIA (WOLO): It’s been 3 decades since thousands of american troops deployed to Iraq as part of Operation Desert Storm/Desert Shield. Some of those soldiers live right here at home as part of U.S. Army Central at Shaw Air Force Base.
100 hours that shaped their last 30 years. Angela and Gerald Fambro’s love story began like many others.
“I kept making jokes, picking with her, laughing, and we developed a friendship from then on,” explained Gerald Fambro on how they met.
Through deployment, and then Operation Desert Storm, Angela said, “it was comforting to know that I was deploying with my best friend here.”
