A Gold Star wife’s request to have a picture taken of her husband’s grave at Arlington National Cemetery went viral when a prominent conservative influencer and members of the Trump administration answered the call.
“This is probably a long shot, but if anybody happens to be in DC this weekend and plans on visiting Arlington, I would love to see a fresh photo of my husband’s grave in Section 60,” Sharrell Shaw posted Sunday on social media.
“There’s just something about knowing people still stop by, still say his name, still remember,” she added.
According toMilitary Times, Staff Sergeant Alan Shaw, from Little Rock, Arkansas, was serving in the 1st Cavalry Division in Iraq when he was killed with two others by an explosive device in February 2007. He was 31. He and Sharrel hadthree children.
