Tom looked great in his light colored suit and Connor in his dark one. I haven’t been able to get a real good look at Katie’s dress yet, but it looks like it has a pattern and some ruffling on the bottom. She looks beautiful!
Here’s a short explanation of Katie and Dianne Weist’s involvement in the concert:
Katie Holmes and Dianne West helped re-enact the experiences of Staff Sergeant Jose Pequeno a soldier from New Hampshire. The former Sugar Hill Police Chief suffered a traumatic brain injury in 2006. His mother Nellie and sister Elizabeth were in the audience with Jose on Sunday, and their sacrifices were also recognized. At a private reception following the conter, New Hampshire Supreme Court Chief Justice John Broderick presented Sgt. Pequeno with a commendation signed by Governor Lynch and top lawmakers praising his service and his sacrifice.
I just watched the video clip of Katie and Dianne and I thought their re-enactment was extremely moving. I can’t imagine what it felt like to be in the audience hearing and seeing this. At the end, Katie and Dianne hugged the family (who was in tears). What a great way to honor this young man.
At the end of the clip, you can see Tom and Connor clapping. Check out the clip and more pictures of Tom and Katie below.
