It was a warm June night in 1991 when a phone call came that would change Martha Seaman's life forever.

It was her son's fiancée, and she was crying.

"That was the beginning of a lifetime of misery," Seaman, now 80, says. "To this day, I don't think I'll ever get over it."

Seaman's first-born, Tony Harrison, was a 21-year-old British paratrooper stationed in Belfast at the height of the so-called "Troubles" — fighting between Roman Catholics and Protestants.
