Author Visits Children of Fallen Heroes

Michael Petersen, 3, smiles at Trevor Romain, an award-winning children’s author and illustrator, Oct. 23, as he flips though digital photographs of animals in Africa. Romain was making his first appearance inside the Fallen Heroes Family Center at Fort Carson, Colo., where he discussed the loss of a loved one with nearly a dozen children. Michael’s father, Sgt. 1st Class Justin Petersen, died of injuries from a motorcycle accident in May 2009.
