As a part of her healing journey, Paula became a member of Maryland Gold Star Mothers, a chapter of American Gold Star Mothers founded in 1928. By serving Veterans and healing together, these parents honor the memory of sons and daughters lost while in active duty military service.

Remembering service and sacrifice this Memorial Day

At the height of the Vietnam War, 1st LT Jack Farley (USA) was drafted and served in the 25th Infantry Division, the Wolfhounds. During the day, Farley and his platoon were engaged in search and destroy missions. Danger lurked at every turn and Farley never knew where or when the enemy might strike.
