Gold Star Families

[paperview]

The United States Army

Gold Star Survivors | The United States Army

The term Gold Star family is a modern reference that comes from the Service Flag. These flags/banners were first flown by families during World War I. The flag included a blue star for every immediate family member serving in the armed forces of the United States, during any period of war or hostilities in which the armed forces of the United States were engaged. If that loved one died, the blue star was replaced by a gold star. This allowed members of the community to know the price that the family had paid in the cause of freedom.

The United States began observing Gold Star Mothers Day on the last Sunday of September, in 1936. The Gold Star Wives was formed before the end of World War II. The Gold Star Lapel Button was established in August 1947.

Today, the nation recognizes the sacrifice that all Gold Star Family members make when a father, mother, brother, sister, son, daughter, or other loved one dies in service to the nation. The strength of our nation is our Army. The strength of our Army is our Soldiers. The strength of our Soldiers is our families. The Army recognizes that no one has given more for the nation than the families of the fallen.

Cindy Sheehan was Gold Star....nuff said

I always knew you were a poser with all your baloney about how much you respected the military.

I do respect the military, I despise people who use their children's sacrifice as political fodder....like Sheehan did. Furthermore I couldn't care less what you think you know. How's that, Twinkie? And also what the hell do you plan to do about it...I mean besides whine like the leftist wimp you are?

So there is nothing political about war.

fascinating.

Please tell me nobody helped this troll out.

Oh look Puppy Breath chimes in...your little butt turd is trying to build a strawman, he doesn't need you to crash and burn

Why didnt trump just respectfully say the kid was courageous and we appreciate his valor. Then this is not a story. Instead we have this mess.

I never said that, once again you try to create a strawman. You're worthless, dude and pretty much not worth dealing with. Now go try and snow someone else your BS don't fly with me

You said that dead soldiers have no place in political debate. That's absurd. It's the politicians who start wars.

I never said that, stop lying, Dumb Deer

"I despise people who use their children's sacrifice as political fodder..."

Hard to deny what you said when the forum keeps it on record.

I pointed that out the other day. Trump is not a deep thinker. He is uncommonly deficient in the common sense department.

It does not matter what Trump says,the media will distort his statement or even just blatantly lie about what he said.

Your distinction is without a difference.

He can think a million times better than Hillary Rodham of the House Clinton.

Oh look you finally got it right...now do you see why I'm laughing at you? You're too damn stupid and lack the proper reading comprehension to even begin to understand what I said. Go away you worthless troll, time and time again your poor comprehension makes you look the fool

Then to top it off trump says he has sacrificed....that is a bizarre statement. Cmon donald just discuss things you will fix. Dont get into a shouting match vs a family that actually knows what a sacrifice is. Dont take the bait.
