Gold Star Family Support
The men and women who have served our nation and made the ultimate sacrifice deserve our eternal gratitude and highest honor. Their families, who served with them from the homefront and lost their loved ones in combat, are our Gold Star Families. The USO of Illinois supports these families at several annual events throughout the year, including Mother’s Day and the Chicago Memorial Day Parade.
