In a long line of heroes stretching from the greens of Lexington and Concord to the mountains of Afghanistan, selfless patriots have defended our lives and

liberties with valor and honor.

They have been Ordinary Americans who loved their country so profoundly that they were willing to give their lives to

keep it safe and free.

As we pay tribute to the valiant men and women in uniform lost in battle, we also

recognize the deep loss and great strength of those who share in that ultimate

sacrifice:

America’s Gold Star Families.
