WASHINGTON _ On Memorial Day 2013, Coleen Bowman was a new widow. Her husband had died four months earlier and she wanted support to face that first military holiday of remembrance. So she registered for TAPS, the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors, and spent the weekend with hundreds of other grieving military families.
"There was a lot of KIAs," Coleen said, referring to those killed in action.
But that was not how Coleen's husband had died, and it made her feel more alone.
