War Widow Faces New Battle (Update on the Stewart's battle to get the VA to recognize the Pentagram)

RENO, NV - Roberta Stewart's life changed forever September 25, 2005 and little has been easy ever since.

Her husband, Sgt. Patrick Stewart's, helicopter was shot down in Afghanistan. Stewart and Chief Warrant Officer John Flynn, both of the Nevada National Guard, were killed.

"Backlash came back at my daughter, which I've never talked about. She was actually beaten in Fernley and called a witch."

Two years ago, her pickup truck, the one her husband wanted upon his return from Afghanistan was vandalized. It might have been a random act, but it was easy to imagine it was more fallout from her public battles.
