Gold Star Memorials

Gold Star Memorials are tributes established to honor and remember the sacrifices of military personnel who have died while serving in the armed forces. The term "Gold Star" comes from the practice of displaying a gold star on service flags to signify that a family has lost a loved one in military service. These memorials serve as a place for reflection and appreciation, acknowledging the bravery and ultimate sacrifice of these individuals. They are often found in parks or veterans' memorial sites, fostering a sense of community and remembrance for both individuals and families affected by military loss.
