We need your help on Sunday, September 25. Help us remember our fallen heroes by honoring their family members on Gold Star Family Day.
Most of us have not experienced the tragedy of losing a loved on in defense of our nation. Most of us never will. We can't relate personally or begin to imagine what that must be like. What we can do, however, is honor and recognize these families tomorrow on Gold Star Family Day. We can thank them for the sacrifices they and their children have made on our behalf. We can let them know that, no matter what, we support and stand behind them as a country and that, if even just for a day, their burden is our burden too.
Please help spread the word and light a luminary tomorrow, Sunday, September 25. If you are unable to light a luminary, please continue reading the newsletter to see how you can make a difference by signing our pledge and changing your social media profile image for the day. Share this newsletter with others as a call to action.
Thank you for your continued support of Gold Star families.
Sincerely,

La Iniciativa Luminaria
En el Día de Familia de la Estrella Dorada*, nos unimos en honor aquellos que han perdido un ser querido sirviendo en las Fuerzas Armadas de USA. El último domingo de septiembre, los honraremos encendiendo una luminaria.
En comunidades grandes y pequeñas, organizaciones e individuos honran a estas familias, desde grandes eventos en la ciudad hasta una sola luminaria al final de un camino. Centros comunitarios, grupos religiosos y organizaciones militares todos participan. Y todos ellos, necesitan líderes; alguien que coordine las actividades del día y envíe la llamada de acción.
- ¿Ayudará a mantener viva su memoria?
- ¿Encenderá a una luminaria con su familia?
- ¿Organizará un evento en tu comunidad?
Día de la familia de la Estrella Dorada es el último domingo de septiembre de cada año. Usted puede hacer una diferencia en su comunidad este próximo 25 de septiembre.
