Memorial Day: A Time for Remembrance
Memorial Day is a solemn occasion dedicated to honoring and remembering the brave men and women who have lost their lives in service to our country. This day of remembrance is not just about reflecting on our freedoms, but also about paying tribute to the ultimate sacrifices made to preserve them. Each year, we gather to ensure that the memories of these heroes endure and that their legacies are honored.
Green Star Families: Recognizing Unseen Sacrifices
While Memorial Day traditionally honors those who fell in battle, it is also crucial to recognize the sacrifices of those who were deeply scarred by their experiences and ultimately lost their battle within. These individuals, remembered by their families as Green Star Veterans, paid a tremendous price. Their families, known as Green Star families, have endured unimaginable pain and loss. It is high time we honor these families for the sacrifices they have made.

HELENA, Mont. — Two Montana youth from Stevensville received help with their next step through a Helena-based nonprofit that supports families affected by veteran suicide.
Cienna and Lynnlee Morris each received a $3,000 Green Star Scholarship.
"It means a whole bunch that they’re doing this for us, for the families, for everyone," Cienna Morris said.
The scholarship came through the Center for Warriors Foundation’s Green Star Scholarship Program.
The Morris family is a Green Star family, meaning they are surviving family members affected by veteran suicide.
Rob Rule, the foundation’s founder and executive director, said he wanted to help after learning about the family’s history.
"This family has my heart because of how bad the things they’ve been dealt. These two little girls here and the whole entire family are really special people," Rule said.
Lynnlee plans to use her scholarship for welding school in Missouri and to help pay expenses.
Cienna has not decided where she plans to go to school, but she said the money gives her support as she looks ahead.
