Green Star Families of America is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization created to provide assistance to those grieving any military loss through suicide. We include all family members and all branches of service.
It is estimated that 22 veterans die by suicide daily, leaving behind loved ones in need of assistance. We are an organization of family members, fellow veterans and other volunteers who are passionate about assisting families affected by veteran suicide.
Our organization is currently working to get legislation passed to recognize the Green Star Flag as an official designation for families affected by veteran suicide. Eventually we hope to be part of national legislation recognizing Green Star Families as an organization similar to Blue and Gold Star Families.
