Gold Star Family Dinner
July 23, 2010 Marriot Wardman Park Hotel
The National Gold Star Family Dinner will seat families together by state for an evening honoring their Heroes and allowing them to share their stories with each other. To the families gathered, they won’t be recognizing another brave Soldier, Marine, Airman, Sailor, or Guardsman, but they will be remembering a father, a wife, a daughter, a brother. Families will be able to tell their Hero’s stories and to find a comfort that can only be offered by those who have known similar loss.
