Gold Star Families know all too well the cost of freedom. When Vietnam veteran Allen Hoe’s son 1LT Nainoa K. Hoe was killed in combat in Iraq, Allen experienced a parent’s worst nightmare. His journey through grief and search for peace after his son’s death inspired a lifelong commitment to healing the wounds of war by supporting those touched by its effects. ‪@PBS‬ #MemDayPBS #MemorialDay #PBS #GoldStarFamilies

What a tragic loss but if I have ever seen a PAPA that could be PROUD of his son this is it. What a Hero and a Hero parent

I served with the 172nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team in Mosul during that time. Some of the fallen were known to us personally, while most were not, but they were all Americans and our brothers. They fought for our freedoms, and their legacy lives on in our hearts and our nation. We will never forget and will always strive to live in a way that honors their memory. LTC Stone... Salute.

Let no one ever disparage those who have given the ultimate for our country and honor their families forever. No one who ever they are, name, position, or status, should ever speak against these proud young people.

Crossed paths with Nainoa in the UH Army ROTC program. I was commissioning while he was finishing his MSIII year. He was one squared away and down to earth dude. Rest in peace and Ikaika Imua…

I have the hugest space in my beating heart for everyone who scarifies their own life, so that someone else can keep living. As Lennon said “Imagine all the people, living for today…you may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one” 🙏🏽🕯️

I am a Civil War reenactor and US Army combat veteran. I and my CW unit march in a large Veterans Day parade every year. A chapter of Gold Star Mothers also parades and they traditionally go before the reenactor units. In my mind, this is entirely right and proper. And when the GSM group passes, all the reenactor units stand to, come to attention, present arms, and dip our colors as they pass. This includes reenactors who portray 'the bad guys'... including Confederates. We are all Americans and these are our collective dead, the price we have paid. Their parents and their memory demand that respect.

I served with the 3rd battalion 21st infantry regiment, 1st brigade of the 25th infantry division. I remember seeing his photo on the wall alongside the rest of our brothers who have made the ultimate sacrifice. That deployment was my weapons sgt first deployment in 04. Had no idea that we served in the same unit when I clicked on this. Small world kind of thing. Bore brother bore.

I wonder how much personal responsibility this man takes in the deaths of his loved ones and the strangers with his dreadful warrior ethos? His kids didn't stand a chance.
