LETTER: American boots on the ground in Ukraine?

I am a Gold Star spouse and “knock on the door widow.” This means that, while going about a day with hope in our hearts, there is a knock at the door, usually a military person, telling us our spouse has died in combat. In that instant, lives change.
There have been thousands and thousands of these notifications. Before proposing boots on the ground in Ukraine, pause to consider whose sorrow you are advocating.
