War Widows United By Grief
Paloma Esquivel, The Los Angeles Times: "When a married soldier dies, the military removes his wedding band to send to his widow. There is no official list of U.S. war widows, but there are thousands - nearly half of the 4,155 soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan were married. Most of the dead were young, as are the women they left behind. Over the weekend, Tomczak, Davis and a few other military widows, all in their 20s, gathered in a rented beach house in Santa Monica. The women, who found one another on the Internet and come from cities across the country, talk nearly every day."
