A gold star family is a term that carries deep emotion and unwavering respect across the United States. It refers to the immediate family members of a service member who lost their life in active duty while serving the nation. The title is more than a phrase. It is a symbol of sacrifice and enduring legacy. For many people, the meaning is understood only in passing. For others, it represents a story that changed their lives forever. In communities throughout the country including the growing regions around Asheville the strength of these families leaves a lasting impact. At Asheville Chain Link this understanding influences how communities value service support healing and remembrance. Although the phrase comes from a tradition that began during World War One its meaning remains powerful today as it reminds us of the cost of freedom and the courage of those who protect it.
