'A Marine at 5'
Janet Ruth Lemen of Rockwell City, Ia., Tuesday was sworn into the women's marines corps reserve on her fifth birthday. This isn't as far-fetched as it sounds. Miss Lemen is actually 20 years old but has celebrated her birthday only 5 times because you know why -- she was a leap year baby.
