The mournful CNN anchor apparently did what the sitting President of the United States hasn't or -- as some critics predict -- won't. Don Lemon wrote a poignant open letter of apology to Myeshia Johnson. She is the widow of Sgt. La David Johnson, a Green Beret among three others slain during an ambush in Niger, Africa recently.
