Gold Star Children

Gold Star Children are the offspring of military service members who have died while on active duty. The term "Gold Star" originates from the tradition of displaying gold stars in windows to signify the loss of a service member. These children often receive support and recognition through various organizations and programs that honor their sacrifices and offer resources for emotional and financial assistance. The designation highlights their unique experiences and challenges as they navigate life without a parent who has made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country.
