WORDS FROM OUR 2026-2027 PRESIDENT
|
Welcome to Blue Star Families of Richmond. I am honored to serve as President of an organization that is very personal to me and my family.
Military service has been woven throughout my family for generations. I am a U.S. Army veteran, as is my husband. Our oldest son and his wife are veterans, our daughter is a veteran, and her husband continues to serve on active duty. I know both the pride of wearing the uniform and the unique pride, and worry that comes with loving someone who serves.
That shared experience is what makes Blue Star Families of Richmond so special. We are mothers and families of active-duty service members and veterans, along with our very special Gold Star Families. Although our stories are different, we share a common bond and a commitment to supporting one another, our military, our veterans and our community.
Throughout the year, we put that commitment into action through service projects supporting our active-duty children, local veterans, and by participating in remembrance ceremonies and military celebrations. Just as importantly, our volunteer projects and social gatherings give us opportunities to build friendships and support one another through every stage of our families’ military journeys.
As President, I look forward to building on the wonderful work of those who have led this organization before me, growing our membership and community partnerships, and creating even more opportunities for us to connect and serve together.
If you are part of a military family, I hope you will join us. There is something very special about being surrounded by people who understand the pride, sacrifice and connection that come with military service.
I look forward to serving alongside you.
God Bless America and God Bless Our Military Families!
