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.
