Download audio (MP3)

Saturday, March 20 marks the seventh anniversary of the beginning of the Iraq War. But some families observe a different anniversary -- the day they got word that a loved one died during military service. We talk with family members of those who died about how they're coping with their loss.

Host: Scott Shafer

Guests:

  • Bonnie Carroll, major in the Air Force Reserve and executive director and founder of the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), which she founded following the death of her husband, Brigadier General Tom Carroll, in an Army plane crash in 1992
  • Kathleen Grace, mother of 19 year old Casey M. LaWare, who was killed in a fire in Iraq in 2005
  • Stefanie Tomlinson, former Marine Corps widow who lost her husband, Steven Begehr in a 1995 military aircraft crash
  • Walter Williams, case manager at the Employment and Training Program at Swords to Plowshares
