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. That's why Taryn is a 2010 Woman of Worth.

I have several friends (widows) who are very ative with the AWP.

She got my vote. Also put it on my FB page and several other forums.

Thanks Gypsy

That's just awesome Snaquebite, I hope she wins.

Gypsy, hope you don't mind, but I added to your title, showing there's a VOTE involved......Might give it more punch.

I don't mind at all, great idea actually!

Voted five times. Good to have multiple emails. :D

Gypsy

I linked to FB and shotgun'd to all my email lists..

Good Luck Taryn..

:D:lifter:D

She's a beautiful woman, inside and out. Thank you, Taryn, for being an example of an extraordinary person, for turning your loss into something meaningful for others. It's a great way to honor your husband's memory and sacrifice.

Voted x4. :)

Used all my email accounts will pass the link on

Done. Many of these ladies are so young to already have the title of "widow". They show great strength and resiliency. At Rolling Thunder this last year, Stras and I and a couple of others ran into a group of young widows at ANC. At first, we thought they were college girls placing wreaths as part of a civic project or something. It turned out otherwise. It was a humbling experience to say the least.

Keeping this up top...Help get the word out...Last day to vote.

Thank you all for the support! Taryn is a remarkable person and has done so much for military widows across the country. Keep the votes going :) And remember to share this link with as many as you can.

Done :cool:

Finally a use for all my work email accounts. Message sent out to A.L. Post and added to Facebook.

A very deserving young women.

Add four more votes for Taryn. If you can not vote early and often, at least vote often:cool:.

Thank you guys for your support and votes! We really appreciate it at the AWP!

Done Gypsy! Thanks for the chance to cast a vote for Taryn.

I've sent this on the gal who runs the local " newcomers" program for our area. Her 0-6 hubby was C-130 driver and a big officer's wives player. This should bring quite a few votes.

Thanks Gypsy.

Fantastic news! Well deserved. I think the privilege is for us to be around you, Taryn.

An honor well-deserved. Congratulations. :)

Sure glad I found out about this a few days ago from a friends wife (she knows I served) and got to vote!

Excellent post Gypsy and a truly deserving Honoree.
