“And I am inspired by Gold Star Wives like Autumn Letendre. Autumn’s husband was killed in Iraq back in 2006. And in the years since, she’s become a passionate advocate for military families — speaking across the country, attending military funerals to comfort loved ones working to ensure that her husband’s memory lives on for her young son. And in a letter that she sent to military families, she wrote, simply: “I may have lost the love of my life, but I have gained a life and story that few in this great country have.”
