Quote:
In 2007 Michael Davis lost his life while serving his country in Iraq. At a mere 21 years of age, Taryn Davis became a widow. In the wake of this tragedy, Taryn began to discover that resources were scarce for young military widows. To reach out and support other young women who had lost a husband in service, Taryn began The American Widow Project (AWP).
Four months after learning of her husband’s death, Taryn began work on a documentary, speaking to military widows across the country, and hearing their stories of love, tragedy and survival. The documentary was shown to military widows who came from all over the U.S. to Austin, TX in July 2008, for the official "launch" of the American Widow Project. Since then, the AWP has conducted events throughout the country to unite military widows to celebrate their survival, honor their loved ones sacrifice, and provide a healing environment with others who share this journey.
The American Widow Project's core philosophy is to serve the interests of the military widow community by and through means readily accessible anywhere, anytime. AWP quarterly events are invaluable in unifying this growing band of young military widows. Other AWP services further solidify the comprehensive network to its members. A 24/7 hotline enables an immediate connection to another widow.
Since 2008, the American Widow Project has served over 500 military widows who have lost their spouses due to war in Afghanistan, Iraq or by non-combat related incidents. Daily, the American Widow Project continues to reach out to military widows across the country.

Good luck, Taryn.  She sure is easy to vote for. I wish I felt this good about more of the individuals I cast votes in favor of.
