Im going to propose to my boyfriend soon. He has been in the Army for 5 years now & still loves it. He defiantly is going to spend the next 5-15years in the Army.
My Question is this. Since he loves the army so much i was thinking of proposing to him by his favorite memorial site ?
any POSITIVE advice would help.

Hmmm,
I'm a great advocate of marriage. I love the idea of marriage, but I want to caution you. I know a lot of people who get married in the military just because the guy is moving or the girl is moving or whatever. If that's what you're thinking, take a little more time to think it through. It can work, but you'll have to be committed beyond committed. Carefully think this out.
Yes bad thing CAN happen, but most of the time they don't. Statistically speaking, we are more likely to get killed in our cities than we are to die in combat. He'll be okay. My sweetie has been over there multiple times, and he's okay.
As far as the proposal goes, try something more romantic. I'm not the type to ask a guy to marry me, but darn it, it had better be a romantic moment on a beach or in the mountains or on an island. You don't get a "do over" on this one so make it memorable. You'll be looking at Army crap for the next 15 years of your life, and if you are committed to supporting his career, you will move with him over and over again, so make you proposal where YOU want it to be. Go romantic!

The uniform is the first thing... They are always in good shape, they are brave, they know how to use a weapon, because there are no guns in the military, just weapons... The patriotism, they are respectful, nice neat clean, will do anything for you, not afraid to lay down their life for the freedom of others, sexy, clean cut, smart, follow orders very well, stable pay, great fathers, confidence... :-) I've learned from the best... They make sacrifices and so do their families and significant others...

You can be romantic and military as well. ARlington Cemetary is a great sight or the Iwo Jima memorial. There are all kinds around the DC area. Any of the monumnets on the mall.

Sounds like a great idea. I wish the two of you much happiness and success in your life together.
Marriage can be difficult at times, it's not something you can prepare for. Your great attitude will be a big help.
PS - Dave's comment is interesting and he has a good point. But I still say follow your heart.

last time we were in DC, we saw a guy propose in front of the WW2 fountain. I think it would acknowledge your commitment to being a military spouse by proposing near something that means a lot to him.

Memorial site?
Sounds a bit on the morbid side, how about someplace more romantic?
Does he like Italian food? Try taking him to dinner at Johnny Carino's.

Maybe he hasn't proposed to you because he realizes that you aren't mature enough to take the things you mention into account.

If other people are there don't get on your knees, it'll probably be a little embarrassing, but then again he will never see them. Just a little tip.
