A military widow has turned her tragedy into something bigger by using the proceeds from her boutique to help struggling military families. Autumn Letendre’s husband Captain Brian Letendre was killed during a combat operation in Iraq in 2006. She opened Abby Adams at the Fall Creek Shoppes in the Geist area in 2011. All proceeds from the boutique go to Autumn’s non-profit The Golden Star USA Foundation to help military families through difficult times.
