The widow's of veterans have few extra or new benefits. If their spouse had retired with benefits, they would continue to receive the ability to access military health care and shop on military bases, as well as receive some portion of their spouses' retirement pay.
Otherwise there is little to assist a veteran's widow.

Why are poppies often sold to raise money for veterans and their windows on Veterans Day?
Poppies grew wild in the fields in Flanders, where many of the battles of World War 1 took place. They particularly proliferated after the battles were over, the soil churned up, and the area fertilised with the blood of thousands. For this reason they are a significant link with war veterans. It is fitting that they be sold to raise funds for the veterans of any conflict, or their widows, who need help. See the related link which contains the poem "In Flanders Field", highlighting the significance of these battlefields.

You would need to contact the Veteran's Administration or the branch of military the the soldier served in (Army I assume since you say soldier and not not marine or sailor). The benefits really don't depend on whether or not the veteran was a medal recipient. If he retired from the service the widow would receive pension or benefits. If he did not retire and only served for say four years the widow may still be able to get some veterans benefits. see links below
