The Real Roxy and Trevor LeBlanc?

Posted By CaitlinBergmann 4:32pm GMT

As promised, I have video to share from the "Army Wives" event at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. We met many amazing real military husbands and wives at that special screening, but two who really stuck out in my mind were a young married couple, The Parduns.

Jordan and Jason Pardun could pass as the real life Roxy and Trevor LeBlanc! Watch these two share their personal Army story:

Ep. 6 Recap: Pamela's Radio Recall

Posted By CaitlinBergmann 7:20pm GMT

It keeps getting better and better each week!

Pamela's radio show gets abruptly shut down after Joan's replacement oversteps his bounds, causing our fiery redhead to have at it with "Have At It" and learn more about a radio job in Atlanta for a change of pace...and a big fat paycheck!

When Michael Holden orders an apology and for Pamela to be fully reinstated to her show, she realizes that chatting about the Army life she leads is the best possible fit she'll ever find.

What did you think of this week's episode? Should Pamela have taken the radio job in Atlanta anyway? Was she better off staying on post with "Have At It?"

Check back later this week for part one of my exclusive interview with Mrs. Pamela Moran herself, actress Brigid Brannagh! She'll be answering your fan questions and much, much more!

Don't forget to post in our "Army Wives" Community about tonight's exciting episode.

Trevor's Moving Moment From "The Hero Returns"

Posted By CaitlinBergmann 11:31pm GMT

What did you think of tonight's amazing episode of "Army Wives"? Trevor's speech on Pamela's radio show about the importance of locating MIAs made me think of my mother's own experience with a similar situation.

 

A dear high school friend, Sgt. Frederick Burns, was separated from his ten-man patrol on Christmas Day, 1967 in Vietnam. He was captured by a Viet Cong patrol, and eventually died in captivity at age 19. He was buried by his fellow POWs, who remarked that throughout this ordeal, he never lost his gentle manners and kindness that so many, including my mother, knew him for.

His remains were found and returned to his hometown of New York in 1995. I was so glad to know my mother found some closure when he was finally reunited with his friends and family. Watching her locate his name on the Vietnam Memorial and trace a copy was a moment I'll never forget.

More Behind-the-Scenes at Walter Reed and a Peek at Episode 5!

Posted By CaitlinBergmann 9:50pm GMT

As promised, here’s some pictures from Tuesday night’s event at Walter Reed in Washington, D.C. where military solders at the hospital and their friends and family were treated to an advanced screening of episode five of "Army Wives" as well as a chance to meet some of the cast:

And here's some moments you won’t read about anywhere else:

1. Brigid and Sally’s fierce stilettos that they wore all night long...without complaining!

2. Sally sitting on Brigid’s lap to purposely "blooper" her interview. During the interview Brigid was talking about how her character was going to have a “sassy” storyline coming up real soon!

3. A man whose chair broke at an awkward moment during a hilarious sexy scene of Episode 5.

4. How I found Brigid’s missing sweater underneath a pile of stuff and was this close to offering it up for grabs on the blog. (Sorry, guys. I tried!)

FYI: Brigid later fessed up to leaving little black sweaters everywhere she goes.

I had an advanced preview of this Sunday’s all new episode of “Army Wives” at the event, and I must tell you, this was my favorite episode yet. Dare I say it, the best episode of the show to date!

It made me laugh, it made me think, it made me cry. And, I learned from Sally Pressman that it was directed by Joanna Kerns, of “Growing Pains” fame. (She also directed the episode "Dirty Laundry" in Season 1.)

I can’t give too much away without ruining some great moments, but here’s a sneak peek:


 

Tune in Sunday at 10 pm et/pt to watch the entire brand new episode! Come back to the blog after the show for my weekly recap! (And soon I’ll have video from this event too.)
