Bob asked a question in another thread on this forum about ways to help Gold Star Families.
I am interested in helping in any way I can also,so I did a search and found this;
http://www.operationhomefront.org/Community/community_alcozer.shtml
When you click on the link it tells about a Marine Vietnam Vet who lost his son in Iraq. The family's home burned recently and there is a fund set up to help them.
If anyone else knows of any organizations that give direct help to Gold Star Families,please post it here. Thanks.
Semper Fidelis,
Chris
Later that night, while I was thinking about the day's somber events, Cpl. Richard A. Mason, an infantryman with Headquarters Platoon, who, in the short time I was with the company became a good friend, told me, "You're still here, don't forget that. Tell your kids, your grandkids, what Sgt. Peralta did for you and the other Marines today."
