GOLD STAR MOTHERS
"When my son died, I felt like I was all alone in the world," said Starla Owens, President of the Northern Michigan Blue to Gold Star Mothers. "For me, its important to connect the families together so they don't feel alone." Here, Owens washes the Gold Star Mother statue in Grand Traverse Area Veterans Memorial Park in Traverse City. The group will host a public program for National Gold Star Mothers and Families Day of Recognition on Sunday, Sept 29, at the park. The approximately 30-minute program will include the reading of names, a yellow rose presentation and an honor guard.
