This Month
Did you know that the last Sunday of September is Gold Star Mother's Day? It was originally declared by Senate Joint Resolution 115 on 23 June 1936. September is also when we begin preparing for our annual Gold Star Parents Honor & Remembrance event here at the Marines' Memorial. We are honored to offer Gold Star families a safe, comfortable and loving environment in which to build community and remember their fallen heroes. Won't you join us in this sacred mission? Thank you for your support!
