The Blue and Gold Star Mothers of New Hampshire

Supporting our Eagles ~ Past, Present and Future

"SUPPORT THE GATHERING OF MOTHERS"

At home, for every man or woman who defends and ensures our liberty and protects the shores of America are the mothers who nurtured them into adulthood.  We are mostly the silent majority who just encourage and support our military sons and daughters.  We are extended by mothers whose blue stars turned gold when their son or daughter gave the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms ALL Americans enjoy.  We are the Blue and Gold Star Mothers of NH.  Together we support our troops as they head towards Victory in the battles they encounter to protect the people and the borders of America.

On Saturday, March 21st  we will assemble with veterans, past, present and future who have served in the armed forces of these United States of America.

In the words of Lt. Col. Steve Russell, USA retired, we should make no apologies.  “What shall we say?  What more can we give to our nation than the type of sacrifice we have already given?  What words can we the soldiers use to convince Americans at home that the biggest mistakes being made in this war are on the home front, not the battlefront?  What will be the value of temporary civilian comforts and the illusion of national safety when a giant shadow of Islamic terrorism is casting itself onto our shores?  What will be the meaning of the rhetoric and the political debate when we sift through the rubble of a workplace, a shopping mall or public transit—digging out American bodies targeted for no other reason than because of our way of life and who we are as a people?  It is a scene that every soldier who has witnessed it abroad will fight with all his might to keep away—but we never thought that our own people would betray our efforts.”

We the Blue and Gold Star Mothers say YES to supporting our troops to Victory.

Blue Star Mothers of NH is a non-profit, non-partisan, non-political organization that supports their sons and daughters as they serve our country past, present and future.
