- September 30, 2012 - Remembering Gold Star Mothers Day
On behalf of a grateful nation, we salute America's Gold Star Mothers. Today, Gold Star Mothers held a ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery, marking the 72nd Anniversary of Gold Sta...r Mothers Day.See More
The Gold Star tradition has been in our country for nearly a century as a reminder of the men and women who have sacrificed their lives in the service of their nation. During World War I, flags were displayed in homes, businesses, schools and churches bearing a blue star for each military service member. A gold star was stitched over the blue one when one of the members of the military had given their life for their country. From this simple expression of community solidarity, the Gold Star Mothers - an organization comprised of mothers who have lost a son or daughter in war - was born.
