Mother's Day is significant to families in an American tradition we honor and respect. Mothers sacrifice much of their time, considerations and principles in helping guide not only their children, but the entire family.
Now it is time to honor those mothers who sacrifice their children to the war in the Middle East, the thousands of Blue Star Mothers of troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. Gold Star Mothers, whose sons or daughters gave their lives in the war, surely will support this notion.
Rest stops could further embellish the concept with monuments specific to Blue
Star Mothers everywhere.
This idea is not new. Other states have done it. We all need to get together and support this effort. Launch the Blue Star Mothers Memorial Highway Mother's Day 2008."
