Emotional ovation as Trump honors US soldier's widow
Republican and Democratic US lawmakers had plenty to disagree over in President Donald Trump's maiden speech to Congress Tuesday, but upon hearing the name Carryn Owens, they rose to their feet as one. The young blonde woman, seated next to Trump's daughter Ivanka in the House of Representatives visitors gallery, is the widow of slain US Navy SEAL Ryan Owens, who was killed last month during a special forces operation in Yemen against extremist group Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. "Ryan died as he lived: a warrior, and a hero -- battling against terrorism and securing our nation," Trump told hundreds of lawmakers and millions of Americans watching the prime time TV broadcast.
