Gold Star Families Honored In Amory
AMORY – (WCBI) – Every family member suffers when a military member dies in their service but it’s an especially painful time for a mother. That’s why Amory devoted a good portion of its Memorial Day program to the Gold Star Mothers of the area. That is a national group formed by moms who lost children at war. Speakers say a renewed effort needs to take place to start teaching younger Americans the reason we have Memorial Day because many have grown up in a generation where Memorial Day is associated more with family gatherings and fun than a time to refleft on the war dead.
