Monday night at the White House Gold Star families gathered at the request of President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump for an event to honor them and the loved ones they have lost.

The first lady defined Gold Star families, those whose immediate family member died while serving in the military during wartime, “they are a unique and distinct category of individuals who should be cherished.”

“These families have endured the ultimate in pain and sacrifice on behalf of our country, and I am honored to have spent the evening with them. My husband and I commit to always pay tribute to our active service military, veterans, and the families who love them,” she added according to the White House.

Thanks Gold Star families. Thanks President and Mrs. Trump. Probably a lot more respect in the room this time.

Ping to First Lady Melania's List.

I am so thankful for our First Family, they actually care for our Gold Star families.

Unlike some others I could name who were literally in-bed with Pentagon Bombers....

Well yeah. This hardly makes up for the “attack” President Trump made on one gold star family during the campaign. At least that’s probably the msm narrative. Gonna be a rough 8 years for the White House. ;-)

The White House noted that the term “God Star family” can be traced back to World War I when Americans “would fly a flag bearing a blue star for every immediate family member serving in the armed forces.” that star was changed to gold if the family member was killed in the War.

Are these the same Gold Star families Hillary dumped to attend a fundraiser?...................
