Today is Gold Star Mother's Day

Gold Star Mother’s Day, (not a public holiday) is observed in the United States on the last Sunday of September each year. It is a day for people to recognize and honor those who have lost a son or daughter while serving the United States Armed Forces.


A gold star symbolizes a family member who died in the line of duty while serving the United States Armed Forces.  It may be seen on a service flag or in the form of a pin, which is worn by Gold Star mothers.

If you know a Gold Start Mom please recognize her today - and everyday.
