You Must Remember This
For Memorial Day, Deborah Tainsh talks about her memoir Heart of a Hawk: One Family’s Sacrifice and Journey Toward Healing. She writes about her step-son, Patrick, a soldier killed in action in Iraq and about his family’s struggles to face the loss. And a different kind of memorial, as the widow of Spalding Gray is joined by actors James Urbaniak and Hazelle Goodman to preview the upcoming performance of his works at P.S. 122, called Leftover Stories to Tell. Plus, Monday Morning Politics with Mark Halperin of ABC News.
