Their Story
Staff Sergeant Glen Hale Stivison Jr was a dedicated member of the United States Army, serving with the 569th Engineer Company, 4th Engineer Battalion. His commitment to his unit and country led him to Afghanistan, where he was part of Operation Enduring Freedom, a conflict initiated in response to the events of September 11, 2001.
On October 15, 2009, Stivison's service came to a tragic end in the Arghandab River Bridge area of Afghanistan. Engaged in military operations, he was killed in hostile action, a fate that befell many of his fellow service members during this lengthy conflict.
Stivison hailed from Blairsville, Pennsylvania, a town that mourned the loss of a native son who had shown remarkable dedication and bravery throughout his military career. His death reverberated through his community and among the ranks of his comrades.
Operation Enduring Freedom, which began in October 2001, sought to dismantle terrorist organizations and stabilize Afghanistan. Stivison's deployment took him beyond Afghanistan, including missions in the Philippines and the Horn of Africa, reflecting the broad scope of U.S. military objectives during this period.
By the conclusion of the operation in December 2014, 2,356 American service members had lost their lives, each leaving behind stories of valor and sacrifice. Stivison's passing is a reminder of the profound human cost of war and the enduring impact on those left behind.
