For families with loved ones who served in the military, itâs a gut-wrenching feeling when the time for deployment comes. Some soldiers never return home. For the soldiers who die in combat, their families are known as Gold Star families.
Every day is Memorial Day for families whose soldiers have paid the ultimate sacrifice. Teenagers Kristain and Alyssa Alvarez, who lost their father in the line of duty, say itâs a hole that can never be filled, the siblings are wearing blue and running to keep his memory alive.
