I asked him about his T-shirt which was about a charity 5k race fundraiser for. his best friend's widow and kids. His friend was killed next to him in Afghanistan. I asked him if he had seen the table in our area for The American Widow Project? He said yes - But was unsure if our group was for everybody or not-assured him that all widows and widowers qualify to join. He lite up and gave me a hug of gratitude as we got off elevator that he had Village to offer the widow of his buddy. Offered hope that she make a camp widow one day. Really changed my feelings towards the military couples that shared conference space with us until Sat. Before then I was feeling no connection or community with them other than negative thoughts of how war is contributing to more of us spouses left behind. Wow my fantasy newspapers headlines would of also been amusing. Widows Breakout in a fight with national guard during weekend conferences for both groups. To close for comfort.Acehttp://verizon.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268746983441346507.post-48113394007818433042012-04-29T06:56:21.432-07:002012-04-29T06:56:21.432-07:00Great story!
