Yesterday, MAJ. GEN. Monte Rone and the 1st Infantry Division had the honor of unveiling the Gold Star Family Monument.
The ceremony was a solemn and powerful tribute to the heroes who gave the ultimate sacrifice and to the Gold Star Families who carry their legacy with strength and love. We were honored to have Survivor Outreach Services and several survivor families in attendance, whose presence reminded us all of the enduring strength behind the sacrifice.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who donated, supported, and worked to make this day of remembrance possible. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten. ❤️🌟
