Gold Star Mothers Day

For those of you who aren't aware, this is a Gold Star banner. Many military families have these banners with a blue star, used when their trooper is serving in a combat zone. Should they make the ultimate sacrifice, the blue star is replaced with a gold one. For all the mothers who carry the heavy burden of this sacrifice - thank you and my God help your pain!

Good-byes are so hard. And you don't know if it's temporary. Or permanent.
