"I belong to Blue Star Mothers, a group who come together because we all have children in the military. We hang a banner in our windows: one blue star for each child currently serving. When a young man or woman is killed in the line of duty, we present a new banner to the family with the blue star replaced by a gold one. On Sunday, our chapter held a ceremony to present gold star banners to the families in our region who deserved but had not yet received one. We all knew it would be a difficult day — those of us with sons and daughters still in harm’s way coming together with those who have lived our worse fear."
