Legion Post Honors Women

MuskogeePhoenix.com, Muskogee, OK - Legion Post honors women: "Those who have lost loved ones in military conflicts say groups such as the Blue Star Mothers and Gold Star Mothers are essential. Blue Star Mothers help women who have children serving in the military, and Gold Star Mothers help women whose child or spouse was killed in military service. Petty said Veterans Day and other memorials are very important, but they mean something different for people who have lost a loved one. “It’s very mixed emotions,” she said. “It’s something that’s very heavy on my heart. When you go through the loss of a husband, father, son or daughter, you’ll never forget it.”"
