Gold Star families look at a memorial site for fallen U.S. Army Soldiers of the 11th Airborne Division during a Gold Star Remembrance Ceremony at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, May 23, 2024. The Gold Star symbol began during World War I. At the start of the American involvement in 1917, families hung banners with blue stars representing family members in the services. If the service member died in combat, the family changed the blue star to gold. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Derek Seifert)
