Never Forget, Always Grateful

This year, April 5 is Gold Star Spouses Day. What does it mean if you see a person wearing a Gold Star lapel pin? A tradition began during World War I, when a Blue Star banner hung in the windows of homes with a family member serving in the military. If that family member died during that service, the blue star was covered with a gold star.

A Gold Star lapel pin with a purple background, approved by Congress in 1947, is presented to the spouse of the member who lost their life in combat. A Next-of-Kin Gold Star button featuring a gold star on a gold background may be given to other family members.

On this day in 1776, less than 25% of George Washington’s troops had a musket as they were positioned near Boston. But Colonel Knox arrived with some heavy artillery, cannons, and mortars, which allowed cover fire for the troops with arms to reach strategic positions.
