#TransWivesMatter: Presidential Recognition and Honor for the Transgender Widow of a Fallen Firefighter

"Nearly 6 years ago my firefighter husband, Captain Thomas Araguz, was killed in the line of duty. While this was a horrific tragedy, the torture continued as my marriage was voided and all of the support that most widows of fallen heroes receive disappeared. It seemed that because I was the "transgender widow," no one wanted to show support for me."
