America’s Gold Star Families was founded to provide honor, hope and healing to those grieving any military loss while serving active duty.  We are open to all family members who have lost a loved one while serving active duty in the United States Armed Forces.

 

“To care for him who shall have borne the battle, for his widow and his orphan.”
 - Abraham Lincoln 1865

 

President Lincoln’s admonishment is what we at AGSF endeavor to do on a daily basis with the following programs, services and partnerships.

 

AGSF provides support, resources, and programs to survivors of active-duty military loss through these programs:

  • Birthday Card Program.
  • Fallen Hero Ornament.
  • Scholarships for children of the fallen.
  • Hometown Hero Banner.

Please click the corresponding box below for more information on any of our programs.

 

Over the years, America’s Gold Star Families has assisted hundreds of family members of the fallen in their quest for mental health. All counseling is underwritten by AGSF and employs a highly qualified counselor.

 

If you have any questions about the above, please email info@americasgoldstarfamilies. All inquires will be kept confidential.  

 

Children’s Birthday Card Program

In our Mission to provide Honor, Hope and Healing, it is important that the children and siblings who have experienced the loss of a parent or sibling through active-duty military service know they are not forgotten.

What We Don't Do

PLEASE NOTE: We do not have an exhaustive national database of every gold star family in the USA. Weekly AGSF receives calls asking for a list of gold star families in various communities across the country. We do not have this information. Check with your local veterans organizations to see if they know of any. Thank you.
