When you wear it, youโ€™re not just supporting the mission. Youโ€™re extending it. Youโ€™re creating conversations. Youโ€™re reminding people of something they should already know, but too often donโ€™t think about - our military fallen heroes.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ There is one award, the most costly to ever exist, yet no man or woman desires to achieve it. The Purple Heart. While many recipients are wounded warriors living among us today, we honor the servicemen and women who received the Purple Heart by giving up their lives while defending our country.

This award reflects the highest form of self-sacrifice. These service members sacrificed so that we can live free. Our country, our families, and each one of us are all honored by their sacrifice, and today, we honor them by remembering them.

We will always HONOR their selfless sacrifice and REMEMBER them individually by Name. โญ ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

โญ Gold Star Childrenโ€™s Day: They carry a heroโ€™s legacy every day.

Today, on Gold Star Children's Day, we pause to recognize some of our nation's quietest heroes... the children of our fallen service members.

HONOR and REMEMBER remains passionate about comforting, honoring, and supporting our nation's military surviving children. They have endured so much and remain living legacies of their fallen parents' service and sacrifice to America.

In honor of Gold Star Children's Day, we are reminded of the hundreds of gifted flags that have touched the lives of those who never met their parents or knew them for a very short time. No matter the age, they are never be forgotten.
