WHAT: The last Sunday in September is designated as Gold Star Mother’s Day. Observing the day began in 1936, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt officially designated the day as a public expression of love, sorrow and reverence from the people of the United States to Gold Star Mothers and their families.
This year, Orange County Mayor Jerry L. Demings will participate in the Annual Gold Star Mothers and Families Day Ceremony hosted by the Mayor’s Veterans Advisory Council. During the event, Gold Star families, who have lost a loved one during any period of war or hostilities in which the U.S. Armed Forces were engaged, will be recognized. This event will allow members of the community to understand the price that a family of a fallen service member has paid, in the cause of freedom.
