Donna Burhans lost her son, Cody Khork, who was killed in the Iran war on March 1. Khork was one of 13 Americans killed during the war, which has been halted while negotiations try to reach a peace deal. Burhan, who takes solitary walks around her family's 35-acre farm in Winter Haven, Florida, talks about her son's hero status and his love for the military. Khorks was a natural fit for the Army, where he served as a captain in the Army Reserve and was posthumously promoted to major. Burhan credits President Donald Trump for taking military action against the enemy of the U.S.
