"Visiting Daddy"
Jennifer Freitas holds two of her children, Kaylin, 4, and Kaiser, 6, at her husbands grave at Fort Logan National Cemetery in Denver, CO. Jennifer was pregnant with their third child, Keegan, when her husband, Marine Maj. Cesar Freitas, was killed two years ago. There are 50 children with Colorado ties that have become the often-overlooked casualties of war since 2002. At least 11 of those children were so young when their fathers died, they have no memories of them. Four were not born until after their fathers died.
