Blue Star Mothers find strength in numbers

"GLENMONT, N.Y. -- 'It's different for each person,' said Barbara Dorsey, a Blue Star Mother. 'We don't know what's ahead for our children. So it's really hard.'


It was that sense of the unknown that brought five Capital Region moms together about a year ago.

Each one needing somewhere to turn as their children headed overseas and into harm’s way. Each one believing, at first, that they were alone in this. That they had to simply be strong, be brave, be patient. However, they soon discovered, strength is found in numbers.
"We're basically there to help each other, to support each other, to give each other courage," said Gerry Gill, a Blue Star Mother.
Just a year after its creation, the Capital Region chapter of Blue Star Mothers now has 100 members. Each one with her own story of how this band of women has made a difference."
