The widow of 2nd Lieutenant Darryn Andrews said it was "hurtful" to find out about her husband's involvement in the search for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl from the media. Julie Andrews was six months pregnant with another nearly two-year-old son at the time of her husband's death.
Andrews, speaking to Fox News's Sean Hannity Wednesday night, said someone from the administration should have informed her prior to the story breaking:
SEAN HANNITY: Let me ask you one last question and we really appreciate you being on the program. I understand the military, when you learned about what happened to your husband, how has the military treat you and your husband's parents and everybody else? Are you happy with how they have been treating you?
JULIE ANDREWS: Yeah, for the most part up until this incident. You know, I don't expect to know a lot of details about my husband's missions or things of that nature because, you know, as a military spouse you don't know things like that. But I do feel like it was, pretty hurtful to me to find out about this, or about Darryn's involvement in this search for Bergdahl and his death being linked to that. It was hurtful to me to find out about that via the media. I feel like someone should have told us sooner, you know, before it was released to the media.
Hannity informed Andrews he referred her children's information to the Freedom Alliance Scholarship Fund, a fund that supports the educational pursuits of the children of wounded or killed service members. You can donate to the fund here.
