I think she needs to grow up. Mistakes happen. Maybe she had sloppy handwriting and the post office got the wrong guy. I'm sure they didn't take names of all the protesters and find their mail, as it would be easier to do other things. The few hours of stress she suffered didn't have any long term affects on her life, so she doesn't deserve any compensation.

I think that thinking your son is dead is a little bit more then just stress. It can completely destroy a person. I am not sure how long she needed to wait to figure out her son was okay but is could have cause severe emotion problems until she did figure it out. If she found out right after she received the letter then i think she does need to grow up. But if it took days then i think she does have something. 

an apology for the mistake. She doesn't deserve any money. If he really died in the Army she would get a notice (or his wife would and she could ask her). Either way she is just looking to turn a quick dime. If I could sue people for getting me upset by making a mistake I'd be rich.
