This Veterans Day, our High School proudly displays flags in honor of those who have served or are currently serving our nation. Donations collected through this display directly support organizations that make a meaningful impact on military families and veterans in our local community.
Supporting Gold Star Mothers
Gold Star Mothers are mothers who have lost a son or daughter in military service to our country. The American Gold Star Mothers, established following World War I, is a 501(c)(3) Veterans Service Organization dedicated to honoring the legacy of their fallen children through service to veterans, military families, and fellow Gold Star Families.
The local Western New York Chapter of American Gold Star Mothers provides vital support throughout the year by:
Assisting veteran families in need during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter
Helping veterans get to medical appointments
Attending memorial services, wakes, and funerals, especially for veterans without family support
Providing outreach activities, such as holiday events for veterans at the VA Hospital
Educating individuals of all ages about the sacrifices and experiences of Gold Star Families
These efforts are made possible through community donations and fundraising support.
