Gold Star Mothers to Tour European Battle Graves
The War Department plans a 1929 era pilgrimage for Gold Star Mothers, arranging travel for about 5,640 to 6,000 widows and mothers of slain U S soldiers. They will visit graves in Europe, stay in hotels, and receive government support from New York departures through Paris and back. The program, totaling roughly 840 dollars per person, prioritizes those with graves abroad and uses eight American cemeteries in Europe as sites of remembrance with hostels and chapels.
