ON SEPT 26TH 2009 IN WASHINGTON DC. MY DAUGHTER AND I WERE IN SEVERAL CABS GOING FROM THE HILTON AT 1919 CONNECTICUTT TO THE 'WEEKEND OF REMEMBERANCE' CEREMONY AT THE CAPITOL. AFTER, WE WENT SIGHT SEEING AT THE SMITHSONIANS AND THEN, WE TOOK A CAB BACK TO UNION STATION. WE TOOK THE METRO TO DUPONT CIRCLE AND THEN TOOK A CAB BACK TO THE HILTON.

I'VE HAD THE GOLD STAR SINCE MY SONS FUNERAL WHEN HE WAS KILLED IN IRAQ TWO YEARS AGO. I'VE KEPT IT WITH HIS DOG TAGS. IT JUST BREAKS MY HEART TO LOSE IT.

THE GOLD STAR IS JUST A SMALL GOLD STAR ON A BLACK BACKGROUND IT'S ONLY ABOUT THE SIZE OF A DIME. REALLY NOT OF MUCH VALUE TO ANY ONE BUT ME.

THANK YOU,
