Memorial Day Ceremony with Governor Kemp,
May 21, 2025
On Wednesday, May 21st, members of the Department of Georgia American Gold Star Mothers were honored to attend the annual Memorial Day Ceremony at the Georgia State Capitol.
The ceremony, hosted by Governor Brian Kemp and First Lady Marty Kemp, was a solemn and respectful tribute to our nation’s Fallen heroes. It was a moving reminder of the cost of freedom and the deep sacrifices made by our sons and daughters.
We were grateful for the opportunity to stand in remembrance alongside Georgia’s leadership and fellow Veterans service organizations. Moments like these strengthen our shared commitment to honor, remember, and serve.
