What Memorial Day means to me as a Gold Star Mother
They say History repeats itself on all fronts of life and death,
That being said, my maternal great-grandmother and I share a generational-bond in the form of an atrocity, experiencing the tragic loss of a child by what is referred to as "THE FOG OF WAR".
Birthdays, Holidays, especially Memorial Days are filled with the "bittersweet memories" each year as I grapple with my inherited place in time, knowing one of mine is now in spirit.
Gold Star families represent less than 1% of Americans, yet our loss represents "ALL AMERICANS". Our sons and daughters, husbands and wives served our country in uniform, giving up their today for our tomorrows natural born Liberties.
