Hey guys and gals,

Its been a while since my last blog on this subject....I attended another rally today from Chesapeake, VA to Hampton VA to the Veteran's Hospital to help raise money for the Honor and Remember cause.....Today I witnessed TWO gold star families (those who have lost a loved one in the line of duty) receive their flags in remembrance of a lost son or daughter. Talk about something powerful that moved me to tears....as a mother I felt the grief they must be suffering. To witness this was a very defining moment for me. I REALLY want to get the word out so that ALL the families of lost service members can receive this flag and that their loved one and others lost will not be forgotten. Your support in signing the petition will go a long way towards passing a resolution that this flag will fly EVERYWHERE the US flag does. You can also donate $ if you choose...getting these flags into the hands of every gold star family will take a lot of $ but at the very least, PLEASE sign this petition so that Congress will pass this resolution.

Thanks for taking the time to read this...it means a lot to me. Pass the word on to all your friends if you have already signed the petition. For every person you pass it on to, it has the potential to reach 200+ more people.

Mission: To create, establish and promote a nationally recognized flag that would fly continuously as a visible reminder to all Americans of the lives lost in defense of our national freedoms. All Military lives lost not only in action but also in service, from our nation's inception.

Rationale: In our over 200 year history there has never been an official national symbol that recognizes in gratitude and respect the ultimate sacrifice made by members of the United States military in service to our nation. The Honor and Remember Flag was created for that purpose.

Goals:

1. To promote the concept of the Honor and Remember Flag and request that visitors to the website sign a petition and pass the word about the importance of this new symbol.
2. To build a consensus among the branches of the United States military, service and civic groups, businesses and individuals in order to collectively solicit the Department of Defense and the United States Congress to propose and accept the Honor and Remember Flag as the official flag for honoring fallen servicemen and servicewomen.
3. To promote broad national awareness of and groundswell interest in the flag, so that military and government facilities as well as households throughout the country would begin flying the Honor and Remember Flag in recognition of our nation's fallen warriors.
4. To place one personalized Honor and Remember Flag in the hands of living parents who have lost a child in military service to America.
