Support for Gold Star Families

The term “Gold Star” describes a family member who has lost a loved one in military service. The Gold Star first made an appearance during World War I after being placed over a service flag’s blue star when a service member was killed in combat. The Gold Star signified the family’s pride in their loved one’s sacrifice rather than the mourning of their personal loss. Many Gold Star families wear the Gold Star lapel pin to signify their pride.

Legacies Alive endeavors to provide unwavering support to our nation’s Gold Star families. We do so by connecting Gold Star families and providing them direct support and resources.
