Ms. Allen
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.

What can I say baby? I love you still with all my heart and soul. This isn't the way this was supposed to be. We were supposed to grow old togther. I'm so very proud of you. You put yourself in danger so others wouldn't have to be. How can I not be proud of that? You always thought you were a nobody but you were always a somebody to us and now you're a somebody to our country. We miss you and we love you. Until we are together again... h+k+l+g+f I love you baby!
