Mark R. De Alencar had been brought back to the United States from Afghanistan days earlier in a flag-draped casket. But this time it was not a celebration," De Alencar told CNN on Thursday night. Two days after the arrival of her husband's body, Trump called as she sat with an Army casualty officer. When she got there, two men from the Army told her that her husband had been shot dead in Afghanistan. The President told De Alencar to take care of herself and extended an invitation to visit the White House.
