The 27-year-old widow and mother of two young children from South Hempstead, N.Y., flew to Waco on Wednesday to continue fulfilling what she sees as his last request to defend American soldiers against vocal critics of the Iraq war, including Cindy Sheehan, who launched her third peace protest in McLennan County this week.
“I heard that Cindy was coming down again to protest, and I had enough,” Youngblood said.
She was seven months pregnant with her daughter, Emma, when her husband died of wounds caused by an explosion during a battle outside of Fallujah. He was a medic attached to a Marine unit that suffered heavy casualties in July and August.
