0:55Now PlayingBonnie Carroll tells Paul Rieckhoff that while the military provides dignified honors, final resting places, and initial benefits, it is up to the nation—and organizations like TAPS—to deliver ongoing emotional support and fight for fair, comprehensive state and VA benefits for surviving families.
