Gold Star Mom on Why We Celebrate Memorial Day

Gold Star families are those that have lost a loved one in active-duty military service. These are the families who know firsthand that our freedom is not free. In honor of Memorial Day, we are talking with Gold Star mom Denise Williams. At 21 years old, her son Andrew was killed while serving in the U.S. Army in Afghanistan. An advocate for service and patriotism, Denise wants us to celebrate Memorial Day, honoring the fallen and expressing our profound gratitude. Her perspective as a grieving mother and proud American will change the way you view this important holiday.
