LAWTON, Okla. (TNN) - A group of people in Lawton want to build a monument honoring the lives and families of everyone who has died while serving our country.
Gold Star Families are anyone who has lost a loved one while they were serving in the military. Vicky Flores of Lawton is one of those people. She lost her son, Wilfred Flores Junior in 2007 and says she just wants others feeling the same hurt she is to have somewhere to go to remember those who were lost.
“I lost my son in Iraq in 07 and this is for me, for my son. The hurt never goes away but it’s the only thing I know to do to keep the memory alive. As I talk to other families, their main fear at this point is their loved ones will be forgotten. This will make it so they’re not forgotten,” Flores said.
