©2005-2007, Gold Star Families Speak Out, gsfso.org, Gold Stars Speak All rights reserved ©
Formed in 2005, Gold Star Families Speak Out is a chapter of Military Families Speak Out and is a peace
based organization for relatives of members of the military who have been killed or lost their life during the
period including the build-up to the war in Iraq (fall, 2002) to the present.
We believe the best way to support our troops is to bring them home now and take care of them when they get
here.
