Gold Star Pins are presented to "the surviving families of our brave men and women in uniform who die while in service to our nation. The families of service members who paid the ultimate sacrifice deserve our respect, gratitude and the very best support we can provide."
Kimberly is an eloquent spokesperson for surviving families. She authored a commentary, "Not Another Weekend" two years ago on Memorial Day," encouraging reflection on the sacrifice represented by the national holiday.
