Single mother does not equal out-of-wedlock mother, ace.
My dad died in 1963. My mom became a single mother. It happens a lot.
Well, "deuce", your Mom became a WIDOW when your father died, she DID NOT become a "single Mother".
We're not talking about widows and divorcee's here, and there's a BIG difference in the application today of that term "single mother".
I agree with you 100%. Truth is - we do not know the circumstances of her life. For all we know - her husband could have been a casualty in the war. However, we do know that this fine lady is a courageous veteran who served us in Iraq and did so at the expense of her children. We owe her a debt of gratitude.
