To aid in the mission of “Honor and Remember,” the West Virginia National Guard hosts a Gold Star Families Retreat at Camp Dawson in Kingwood, West Virginia, the last weekend in September every year. The event is a chance to honor the service and sacrifice of both the family members and their loved ones who died in the course of military service.
