What is a gold star?? really, I guess you weren’t around in the early 40’s? They hung little flags in the windows of homes where their sons were sent off to fight the war. The flags had one or more blue stars in the center which corresponded to how many in the family were in the service. If a service man was KIA, the star was changed to Gold, which meant the family lost a member in battle. We had 3 gold stars in our family, all within a week. Shot down over Germany in 44’.
God Bless you and all your family.
...street signs in some towns would also designate
a Gold Star mom lived on that block
Thank you for the explanation! I honestly did not know what that term meant.
