Proclamation by the President: Gold Star Mother's Day, 2008

Posted at 08:54 AM on Saturday, September 27, 2008 by post5993

Throughout our history, the men and women of the Armed Forces have put our Nation's security before their own, doing their duty in the face of grave danger. On Gold Star Mother's Day, we pay solemn tribute to the mothers of the patriots lost serving this great Nation.

Gold Star Mothers inspire our Nation with their deep devotion to family and country. These extraordinary women serve their communities, dedicate their time to helping members of our Armed Forces and veterans, and bring comfort and hope to families whose loved ones laid down their lives in the defense of our liberty. Nothing can compensate for their sacrifice and loss, yet Gold Star Mothers demonstrate tremendous courage and resolve while working to preserve the memory and legacy of all our fallen heroes.

WASHINGTON – Continuing its mission of providing a final resting place for Missouri veterans, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has announced a $7,555,296 grant to establish a state veterans cemetery at Fort Leonard Wood, approximately 50 miles south of Jefferson City.  

“By awarding this grant to Missouri, we are closer to making the state veterans cemetery at Fort Leonard Wood a reality,” said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Dr. James B. Peake. “The veterans in this part of the state have earned the right to a dignified burial in a cemetery that commemorates their service and sacrifice.” 

The grant will pay 100 percent of the allowable costs to build the new 228-acre cemetery.  In its initial 18-acre development, the cemetery will provide 4,893 full-casket gravesites, 1,412 in-ground cremation burial sites and 1,024 columbarium niches.  The cemetery will serve more than 7,000 veterans and their family members who live in the area.
