The History of Gold Star Mothers in America & Veteran’s Wreath Sponsorship Bundle

Veteran’s Wreath Sponsorship & Book ~ That Knock at the Door by Holly S. Fenelon

In 1928, a group of 25 women formed American Gold Star Mothers, Inc., an organization created to honor those who had died by being of service to veterans and their families in need, supporting gold star families, and caring for veterans who had returned with physical, emotional and psychological wounds. From that humble beginning, American Gold Star Mothers, Inc. has become an icon of national service, opening its membership time and again to gold star mothers of later wars and conflicts, including Iraq and Afghanistan. Their amazing legacy of service is an important yet largely unknown chapter in American history. This book presents the story of gold star mothers in America and the first volume of a comprehensive history of American Gold Star Mothers, Inc.
