The women, who refer to themselves as the “widows,” are bound by a single moment that changed the course of each of their lives forever. I had the privilege to be in their presence and experience their undying commitment to their country, their families, and the memory of their husbands.


And so, if only for a brief moment, a generous group of partners came together to lay down the red, white, and blue carpet, and offer up a five-star experience to honor these women.
