Gold Star Widow Natasha De Alencar releases audio from phone call with President Trump

Army Staff Sgt. Mark R. De Alencar

This video released by a Gold Star widow Natasha De Alencar is especially touching to me because her husband was assigned to the 7th Special Forces Group as indicated by the red shield worn on his black beret. I served in the 7th Special Forces Group in the late 1970s. Each man knew what he signed up for, each man was prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice in defense of the Constitution and the nation.

The Special Forces crest has the Latin phrase “De Oppresso Liber” which translated means “To Free the Oppressed.” The motto of the 7th Special Forces Group is the Spanish phrase “Lo Que Sea – Cuando Sea – Donde Sea” which translated means “Whatever – Whenever – Whatever.” The U.S. Special Forces soldiers are the tip of the spear and they know it.

May God bless and comfort the De Alencar family.

The Washington Free Beacon’s Conner Beck in a column titled “Gold Star Widow on Call With Trump: ‘It Felt Like I Was Talking to Another Regular Human’“reported:

Natasha De Alencar returned home on April 12 after making t-shirts and pillowcases in her husband’s memory when the Army casualty assistance officer told her that President Donald Trump was on the phone for her.

De Alencar’s husband, Army Staff Sgt. Mark R. De Alencar, had been killed during a firefight with Islamic State fighters in eastern Afghanistan on April 8, the Washington Post reported Thursday night.

He left behind five children, one of whom recorded the conversation with Trump.

Trump opened by saying he was sorry about the “whole situation” and called Mark De Alencar “an unbelievable hero.” Natasha De Alencar thanked Trump for the call and told him about her family. She noted that her oldest son, Deshaun, is playing college football at Missouri Valley College in Marshall, Mo. on an academic scholarship.
