if you read this I hope that you know your husband was a True American Hero. I didn't know Howard but when I came across his picture and our message I (being a military wife) remember sitting at home praying that this wouldn't be me. My heart goes out to you. I didn't lose my husband but we lost six of his friends. Please know that you will forever be in my prayers.
