Gold Star Mothers

During World War One, families displayed a gold star in their window to honor a son that had died in the war. As an enduring tribute to their sons, many mothers banded together offering each other support and sympathy. They formed the Gold Star Mothers organization in 1918 to help veteran families deal with their grief.

Tulalip's chapter of the Gold Star Mothers began with the loss of two Tulalip sons, Alphonsus Bob and Elson James. The grief faced by these mothers is immeasurable and we honor the ultimate sacrifice made by their sons. The Tulalip community has taken an active step in memorializing its Gold Star Mothers by renaming streets and parks in their honor.
