Gold Star Spouses Day was observed on April 5, 2024, to honor the spouses of military members who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to the nation. In line with this day of remembrance, a local initiative led by Life Scout Alexis McCullough has been making waves.

Alexis McCullough is spearheading an effort to raise funds for the construction of a Gold Star Memorial in honor of her father who passed away while on active duty. This initiative holds significant importance, not only as a tribute to her father but also as a symbol of remembrance for all fallen military members.

The initiative has garnered attention and support, with individuals encouraged to learn more about Alexis' mission to honor her father's memory through the Gold Star Memorial. This project not only serves as a personal endeavor for Alexis but also as a touching gesture towards all Gold Star families who have experienced similar loss and sacrifice.

As Gold Star Spouses Day reminds us of the strength and resilience of military families who have lost loved ones in service, initiatives like the one led by Alexis McCullough stand as a testament to the enduring legacy of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.
