The Women’s Memorial Foundation is proud to host a screening of the documentary Gold Star Children, written and directed by Mitty Griffis Mirrer, herself a Gold Star Child, on Monday, Nov. 11, at 12:00 p.m. The hour-long documentary “takes an intimate look at American children who've lost a parent to war, following the parallel journeys of two generations of grieving children—recent war orphans who’ve lost military parents serving in Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia and here at home and adult-child survivors of the Vietnam War—as they learn to heal together. The film brings together voices of today with historical context, giving meaning and shape to how America understands those who sacrifice in service to their country and the children and families they leave behind. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion. The event is free and open to the public and seating is first-come, first-served. Learn more about Gold Star Children on their website.
