ARLINGTON, Va. â For Robyn Thomson, meeting her husband, Todd, came down to a chance encounter in college.
âHe loved the Army. It was his passion,â she said. âI met him probably about two weeks after he enlisted and then was with him his entire career until I put him in the ground at Arlington.â
With their two young daughters by her side, she said her final goodbye to Lt. Col. Todd Thomson in 2015. After multiple deployments to Iraq, cancer ultimately stole him away from his loved ones.
