Shortly after moving to Alaska, Pete Reed left for Ukraine to work with Global Outreach Doctors.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Their romance began far from home, in a place few would consider romantic: the war-torn, rubbled, dusty city of Mosul, Iraq.
“I saw a news article about Pete and his team and thought I would stay for a couple weeks but we fell in love super fast. And worked together really well,” Potter said. “So, I stayed for the whole time.” Reed’s skill of tending to the needs of others was honed as an infantryman in the U.S. Marine Corps. After leaving the armed forces, Reed began serving in other disaster and war zones. Potter said her husband spent time working in Haiti, Yemen, Syria and Iraq, on top of Ukraine. Countless times he would be asked why he would go to war zones.“It was because he saw a need and saw people that were in need and he needed to fill that,” Potter said.
“He missed being overseas,” Potter said. “He missed putting his skills to use and feeling like he was worthy.”“The next messages I sent were at like 2 in the morning my time, and they only got the one check mark, instead of the two check marks. So I figured he was somewhere without service.
