Historical Moment to Remember

[ public domain image ]

In 1967, an Act of Congress established the Gold Star lapel pin (left) for issue to immediate family members of service members killed in combat. The Next of Kin pin (right) signifies a service-related death or suicide during active duty other than combat.

This day, the last Sunday in September, honors Gold Star mothers (and families) who lost sons or daughters while serving in the U.S. military.  
Gold Star Mothers and families have inspiring stories of their fallen service member for us all to learn.
