@memdaypbs: Today marks the anniversary of Operation Enduring Freedom, launched on this date in 2001 in response to the attacks on 9/11. Our thoughts and hearts are with all of the brave men and women who answered the call of a wounded nation and with their families and loved ones who have served and sacrificed along with them. From the 2014 concert, Dianne Wiest pays tribute to Specialist Kris Stonesifer, who was killed in action during Operation Enduring Freedom on October 19, 2001.

She's telling Ruth Stonesifer's story, not her own. But she did have a real life daughter who passed away 💔

Sometimes I forget how blessed we are to have gotten all our family members back from battle. Broken, but back in our love.

that happened because of greed and the evilness that exists in this world. there is literally no reason that we should be fighting.

Dianne Wiest did an amazing job of telling Ruth’s story. The heartbreak of her telling a mothers story is real pain, honor . God bless her for sharing a mother’s story. God bless all Gold Star families.
