Not enough people know what a Gold Star parent is, says Charles Strange; but as one of them, he is dedicated to helping other family members of fallen service members.
A “Gold Star” in military parlance is someone who lost a close family member to combat. Through his Michael Strange Foundation, Strange holds workshops aiming to help people who endured this deeply painful tragedy.
When a service member is killed in action, Strange says, the families at first receive a wellspring of social and spiritual support. As the months progress, however, the families increasingly are left to deal alone with their devastating losses.
