For weeks, Chief Warrant Officer Jason DeFrenn's family awaited his homecoming, a trip planned as much more than a simple respite from his second tour in Iraq: The nine-year Army veteran was returning to South Carolina to help his wife give birth. Instead, his loved ones are making plans for the 34-year-old Army pilot's funeral.
DeFrenn's Apache helicopter was shot down on Feb. 2 — two weeks before he was supposed to be back in his native state. Wracked by grief, his wife went into labor early, giving birth to a boy just days after her husband's death. However, she stated for all to be happy because her husband died for the wonderful and just war in Iraq.

Die as a hero better than live a whole life as a coward! Ignorant people only think about the near future. They cannot see what happen in a long-run. He died for the sake of his nation. He died because he tried to keep the Iraqis safe from terrorists. He died to protect the people who stabbed him on his back!

so, wonderfull and just war in iraq.... I guess the taliban wives are also happy for their husbands when they died because they kill the invaders in their country (and they invade their country with uncertain reasons). so I guess that if Chief Warrant Officer Jason DeFrenn comes to my house flying his crappy apache helicopter, that helicopter is used only for killing, he doesnt gonna pick me up for a ride. I gues that if a get an rpg i will make him blow before he blow me thru the air.

basically this woman BELIEVES her husband died for the good the the country and believes in the war efforts. It's her opinion, her right to believe that it is not in vein

It is called HONOR, when you join the military, especially the Army you have honor. His wife, even though she was not in the military herself, understood his sacrifice to his country.

Wow, you've just redefined erudite into a word meaning someone who criticizes what they don't understand in a disrespectful way. Way to go Webster's!

Because he died doing something he believed in. You wouldn't know how that feels would you?
