Beginning in World War I, families displayed flags with a gold star to honor a loved one lost in service to our nation. Today we recognize the profound sacrifice made by Gold Star Spouses across generations of Americans. Their loss is immeasurable, yet their love and devotion ensure the memory of their spouses endures. On Gold Star Spouses Day, we honor their courage, their sacrifie and their unwavering commitment to preserving the legacy of those who gave everything. ABMC welcomes Gold Star families to our miliary cemeteries and memorials across the world. May these sacred places remain a source of connection, reflection and remembrance for all who visit. @usabmc
