Nothing could have prepared Natasha De Alencar for April 8, a Saturday, when she returned from a soccer practice and heard a knock at her home at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. She was upstairs. Her daughter Tatiyana, 13, shouted that 2 uniformed men were at the door, “like in the movies, when they knock on the door when something bad has happened,” Natasha said. She knew why the soldiers had come. “I couldn’t get down the steps. My body just froze,” she recalled. Staff Sgt. Mark De Alencar was killed in Afghanistan, in what has become America’s forgotten war. Today, the war there is overshadowed by the fight against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, despite the fact that ISIS is gaining a foothold in Afghanistan. “I had my doubts that people cared — the war didn’t seem to affect anyone outside the military,” Natasha said. But since her husband died, more than 3 million people have posted comments honoring him on social media. More than a thousand have emailed, telephoned or sent cards and letters to Natasha. @heislerphoto, a staff photographer for @ニューヨーク・タイムズ, attended the service and burial for Mark, the first American killed in combat in Afghanistan this year.
