-Information about the organization/group is:
The term "Gold Star" describes a family member who has lost a loved one in military service. The Gold Star signified the family's pride in the loved one's sacrifice rather than the mourning of their loss. We honor the legacy of fallen heroes, support the missions and needs of their families, and raise awareness for Gold Star Family Day.
-Sample language of the proclamation:
WHEREAS, many of our brave men and women in uniform have paid the ultimate sacrifice while ensuring our country remains land of the free.
-If you receive a proclamation, please send it to us so we can highlight it in our newsletters and on our website!
