Gold Star Mothers
September 27
Sunday Sept. 27th the Warhawk Air Museum will honor "Gold Star Mother's Day". Even though Service Star flags are rarely used today, the Warhawk Air Museum honors "Gold Star Mother's Day", the last Sunday of each September, as a day of reflection and respect toward all mothers who have lost children to wars. Each Gold Star Mother will receive the gift of a flower.
 
On June 23, 1936, the 74th Congress adopted Public Resolution 123, which stated that, "The last Sunday in September shall hereafter be designated and known as, Gold Star Mother's Day...". Use of the Service Star flags was commonly hung in the windows of American homes during WWII, many of them handmade by mothers themselves. They became a daily reminder of both pride and grievous burdens borne by women in time of war.
 
When a blue star in any window changed to gold, it represented the death of a son or daughter in the service and was a signal to the community to rally behind the grief-stricken family. The Museum is open 11 am - 4 pm.
 
Admission: General $8; Senior 65ys+ $6; Kids (5-12) $4
