ORLANDO, Fla. -- A U.S. Army married couple in Florida being deployed together to serve their country will have to be away from their 1-year-old son for a year.Yvette and William Sims will soon be heading to Iraq as members of the Army Reserve's 345th combat-support hospital.While that means they'll be together overseas, it also means the couple only has a few more play dates with their 1-year-old son, Connor."It's going to be heartbreaking to leave him," Yvette Sims said. "We're going over there, of course, to support the mission over there and to take care of soldiers."The Sims have been deployed in the past, but have never gone together.The Sims said Connor will celebrate his second birthday with other family members, but his greatest present won't come until this time next year when his parents return home just in time for his third birthday."I'm just hoping that he's proud of us and what we've done," Sims said.Watch Local 6 News for more on this story.
