THESE CHAPTERS ARE EXTENSIONS OF OUR ORGANIZATION, ACTING AS BOOTS ON THE GROUND AND STAFFED 100% BY VOLUNTEERS. WE NOW HAVE SEVENTEEN STATE FLAG ADOPTIONS WITH MANY MORE IN PROCESS. ADDITIONALLY, EVERY U.S. STATE HAS A POINT OF CONTACT WHO CONTINUES TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE ORGANIZATION WITH INCREASED AWARENESS AND OUTREACH EFFORTS. I BELIEVE THAT WE ARE SLOWLY, DELIBERATELY AND SUCCESSFULLY CHANGING THE MINDSET OF THIS NATION. ONLY A PORTION OF THE EXTENSIVE ACTIVITY OVER THE LAST YEAR IS MENTIONED HERE. | Desc |

| Desc | FLAG PRESENTATIONS: MORE THAN 300 PERSONALIZED FLAGS WERE PRESENTED TO GOLD STAR FAMILIES ACROSS THE U.S. AT CHAPTER AND KEY EVENTS, INCLUDING NASCAR TRACKS, AMERICA SUPPORTS YOU TEXAS, AMERICAN GOLD STAR MOTHERS WEEKEND BANQUET, RUN FOR THE FALLEN EVENTS AND MANY OTHER VENUES. WE ARE PRESENTING PERSONALIZED FLAGS AT THE RATE OF ONE NEARLY EVERY DAY. HONOR AND REMEMBER MONTH: WE DECIDED LATE IN 2012 THAT HR WOULD NAME MAY 2013 AS HONOR AND REMEMBER MONTH, ASKING OUR NATION TO FOCUS ON RECOGNIZING LIVES LOST IN EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE MONTH, CULMINATING WITH REMEMBERING THE FALLEN ON MEMORIAL DAY. NATIONAL PRESS RELEASES WERE SENT AND WE BEGAN A CAMPAIGN TO SOLICIT SUPPORT FROM OUR CHAPTER BASE, STATE REPRESENTATIVES AND MEDIA PARTNERS. THIS WAS A VERY SUCCESSFUL LAUNCH FOR HONOR AND REMEMBER MONTH. WE HOPE TO CONTINUE THIS DESIGNATION YEAR AFTER YEAR. THIS INCLUDED A KICKOFF WITH THE FIRST VIRGINIA RUN FOR THE FALLEN ON THE FIRST WEEKEND OF MAY. FIRST ANNUAL VIRGINIA RUN FOR THE FALLEN: FOLLOWING ITS ORGANIZATION IN 2008 OF A 4,000-MILE NATIONAL RUN FOR THE FALLEN, HONORING SERVICE MEMBERS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES, HONOR AND REMEMBER PARTNERED WITH THE FOUNDER TO CREATE THE VIRGINIA RUN FOR THE FALLEN. THIS EVENT, COINCIDING WITH THE HONOR AND REMEMBER MONTH OF MAY, WAS COMPOSED OF A DEDICATED TEAM OF RUNNERS AND VOLUNTEERS ORGANIZED OVER FOUR DAYS AND COVERED 236 MILES STRETCHING FROM FORT STORY TO ARLINGTON CEMETERY. ENCOMPASSING MORE THAN 15 CITIES AND COUNTIES, THIS TRIBUTE TRAIL PULLED COMMUNITIES AND GOLD STAR FAMILIES TOGETHER IN AN AMAZING DISPLAY OF HONOR AND PATRIOTISM. FOURTH ANNUAL GOLD STAR FAMILY EVENING: THIS IS A HOLIDAY BANQUET DESIGNED TO BRING FAMILIES TOGETHER FOR A NIGHT OF FELLOWSHIP AND ENTERTAINMENT. LAST YEAR WE HAD APPROXIMATELY 300 FAMILIES AND GUESTS. THIS YEAR, DECEMBER 8TH, WE HOSTED MORE THAN 200 GOLD STAR FAMILIES AND GUESTS ATTENDED FROM THE COMMUNITY. THERE WAS A DECREASE IN ATTENDANCE DUE TO SEVERE WEATHER THROUGHOUT THE STATE. THIS EVENT IS INTENDED TO BE COMPLETELY SPONSORED WITH NO MONETARY OUTLAY FROM OUR RESOURCES AND USING VOLUNTEER LABOR. ADDITIONALLY, THE EVENT SHOULD GENERATE SOME MODEST ADDITIONAL OPERATING FUNDS. FINANCIALLY, OUR TABULATION INDICATES A BREAK EVEN. THREE PERSONALIZED FLAGS WERE PRESENTED, ONE TO EACH OF FAMILIES REPRESENTING IRAQ, THE BEIRUT BOMBING AND WWII. ONE FLAG WAS PRESENTED FOR THE FIRST TIME VIA SKYPE. STATE FLAG ADOPTION UPDATE: CURRENTLY, SEVENTEEN STATES HAVE ADOPTED THE HONOR AND REMEMBER FLAG AS THEIR STATE SYMBOL OF REMEMBRANCE: VA, NC, MD, DE, PA, NJ, SC, AZ, KS, LA, MO, OR, UT, OK. STATES THAT PASSED ADOPTION LEGISLATION IN 2013 ARE INDIANA, TEXAS AND WISCONSIN. AT LEAST FIFTEEN OTHER STATES ARE WORKING ON ADOPTION LEGISLATION AND WE SHOULD SEE SUBSTANTIAL PROGRESS IN 2014. I BELIEVE OUR FIRST MILESTONE TO REACH MORE THAN HALF OF THE STATES IN THE NATION WILL BE REACHED NEXT YEAR. STATE CHAPTER STATUS: THERE ARE CURRENTLY SEVEN OFFICIAL LLC HONOR AND REMEMBER STATE CHAPTERS: VIRGINIA, NORTH CAROLINA, ALASKA, OHIO, MINNESOTA, TEXAS AND KANSAS. SEVEN ADDITIONAL CHAPTERS ARE IN FORMING STATUS: NEW HAMPSHIRE, KENTUCKY, MASSACHUSETTS, CONNECTICUT, INDIANA, NEBRASKA AND ARIZONA. TWO HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED DUE TO REORGANIZATION, FLORIDA AND MISSOURI. WE ARE COMMUNICATING WITH SEVERAL OTHER STATES AND AWAITING FORMAL PAPERWORK. OUR NATIONAL CHAPTER DIRECTOR HAS MADE TREMENDOUS PROGRESS IN ESTABLISHING AND MAINTAINING THESE CHAPTERS WITH A GOAL OF INCREASING OUR EFFORTS IN 2014. THESE CHAPTERS ARE KEY TO HELPING US FULFILL THE ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF FLAG REQUESTS STILL PENDING. | Desc |

| FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION | IN KEEPING WITH OUR MISSION AND PRIMARY GOALS, WE CONTINUE TO SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT THIS NATION WITH THE MESSAGE OF PERPETUALLY RECOGNIZING OUR MILITARY FALLEN HEROES AND THEIR FAMILIES. OUR OBJECTIVES CAN BE SUMMARIZED IN FOUR WORDS: ESTABLISH, EDUCATE, PRESENT AND COMFORT. IN THIS REPORT YOU WILL READ ABOUT THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN EACH OF THESE AREAS. THE YEAR BEGAN WITH A CONTINUED STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP WITH THE NASCAR ORGANIZATION, ENABLING US TO REACH INDIVIDUAL GOLD STAR FAMILY MEMBERS IN A VARIETY OF STATES. THIS YEAR WAS ALSO OUR THIRD INCLUSION INTO THE COMBINED FEDERAL CAMPAIGN (CFC), WHERE WE ARE ABLE TO TAKE OUR MESSAGE TO MILITARY AND FEDERAL EMPLOYEES THROUGH PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS. CONTINUING OUR BENEVOLENT GOAL OF PRESENTING PERSONALIZED FLAGS TO EVERY GOLD STAR FAMILY WHO HAS LOST A LOVED ONE IN MILITARY SERVICE, HUNDREDS OF FAMILIES WERE HONORED THIS YEAR IN MANY STATES. WITH THE CONTINUED ESTABLISHMENT OF STATE CHAPTERS, WE ARE MAKING SIGNIFICANTLY MORE IMPACT IN THOSE AREAS. THESE CHAPTERS ARE EXTENSIONS OF OUR ORGANIZATION, ACTING AS BOOTS ON THE GROUND AND STAFFED 100% BY VOLUNTEERS. WE NOW HAVE SEVENTEEN STATE FLAG ADOPTIONS WITH MANY MORE IN PROCESS. ADDITIONALLY, EVERY U.S. STATE HAS A POINT OF CONTACT WHO CONTINUES TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE ORGANIZATION WITH INCREASED AWARENESS AND OUTREACH EFFORTS. I BELIEVE THAT WE ARE SLOWLY, DELIBERATELY AND SUCCESSFULLY CHANGING THE MINDSET OF THIS NATION. ONLY A PORTION OF THE EXTENSIVE ACTIVITY OVER THE LAST YEAR IS MENTIONED HERE. |

| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4D | FLAG PRESENTATIONS: MORE THAN 300 PERSONALIZED FLAGS WERE PRESENTED TO GOLD STAR FAMILIES ACROSS THE U.S. AT CHAPTER AND KEY EVENTS, INCLUDING NASCAR TRACKS, AMERICA SUPPORTS YOU TEXAS, AMERICAN GOLD STAR MOTHERS WEEKEND BANQUET, RUN FOR THE FALLEN EVENTS AND MANY OTHER VENUES. WE ARE PRESENTING PERSONALIZED FLAGS AT THE RATE OF ONE NEARLY EVERY DAY. HONOR AND REMEMBER MONTH: WE DECIDED LATE IN 2012 THAT HR WOULD NAME MAY 2013 AS HONOR AND REMEMBER MONTH, ASKING OUR NATION TO FOCUS ON RECOGNIZING LIVES LOST IN EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE MONTH, CULMINATING WITH REMEMBERING THE FALLEN ON MEMORIAL DAY. NATIONAL PRESS RELEASES WERE SENT AND WE BEGAN A CAMPAIGN TO SOLICIT SUPPORT FROM OUR CHAPTER BASE, STATE REPRESENTATIVES AND MEDIA PARTNERS. THIS WAS A VERY SUCCESSFUL LAUNCH FOR HONOR AND REMEMBER MONTH. WE HOPE TO CONTINUE THIS DESIGNATION YEAR AFTER YEAR. THIS INCLUDED A KICKOFF WITH THE FIRST VIRGINIA RUN FOR THE FALLEN ON THE FIRST WEEKEND OF MAY. FIRST ANNUAL VIRGINIA RUN FOR THE FALLEN: FOLLOWING ITS ORGANIZATION IN 2008 OF A 4,000-MILE NATIONAL RUN FOR THE FALLEN, HONORING SERVICE MEMBERS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES, HONOR AND REMEMBER PARTNERED WITH THE FOUNDER TO CREATE THE VIRGINIA RUN FOR THE FALLEN. THIS EVENT, COINCIDING WITH THE HONOR AND REMEMBER MONTH OF MAY, WAS COMPOSED OF A DEDICATED TEAM OF RUNNERS AND VOLUNTEERS ORGANIZED OVER FOUR DAYS AND COVERED 236 MILES STRETCHING FROM FORT STORY TO ARLINGTON CEMETERY. ENCOMPASSING MORE THAN 15 CITIES AND COUNTIES, THIS TRIBUTE TRAIL PULLED COMMUNITIES AND GOLD STAR FAMILIES TOGETHER IN AN AMAZING DISPLAY OF HONOR AND PATRIOTISM. FOURTH ANNUAL GOLD STAR FAMILY EVENING: THIS IS A HOLIDAY BANQUET DESIGNED TO BRING FAMILIES TOGETHER FOR A NIGHT OF FELLOWSHIP AND ENTERTAINMENT. LAST YEAR WE HAD APPROXIMATELY 300 FAMILIES AND GUESTS. THIS YEAR, DECEMBER 8TH, WE HOSTED MORE THAN 200 GOLD STAR FAMILIES AND GUESTS ATTENDED FROM THE COMMUNITY. THERE WAS A DECREASE IN ATTENDANCE DUE TO SEVERE WEATHER THROUGHOUT THE STATE. THIS EVENT IS INTENDED TO BE COMPLETELY SPONSORED WITH NO MONETARY OUTLAY FROM OUR RESOURCES AND USING VOLUNTEER LABOR. ADDITIONALLY, THE EVENT SHOULD GENERATE SOME MODEST ADDITIONAL OPERATING FUNDS. FINANCIALLY, OUR TABULATION INDICATES A BREAK EVEN. THREE PERSONALIZED FLAGS WERE PRESENTED, ONE TO EACH OF FAMILIES REPRESENTING IRAQ, THE BEIRUT BOMBING AND WWII. ONE FLAG WAS PRESENTED FOR THE FIRST TIME VIA SKYPE. STATE FLAG ADOPTION UPDATE: CURRENTLY, SEVENTEEN STATES HAVE ADOPTED THE HONOR AND REMEMBER FLAG AS THEIR STATE SYMBOL OF REMEMBRANCE: VA, NC, MD, DE, PA, NJ, SC, AZ, KS, LA, MO, OR, UT, OK. STATES THAT PASSED ADOPTION LEGISLATION IN 2013 ARE INDIANA, TEXAS AND WISCONSIN. AT LEAST FIFTEEN OTHER STATES ARE WORKING ON ADOPTION LEGISLATION AND WE SHOULD SEE SUBSTANTIAL PROGRESS IN 2014. I BELIEVE OUR FIRST MILESTONE TO REACH MORE THAN HALF OF THE STATES IN THE NATION WILL BE REACHED NEXT YEAR. STATE CHAPTER STATUS: THERE ARE CURRENTLY SEVEN OFFICIAL LLC HONOR AND REMEMBER STATE CHAPTERS: VIRGINIA, NORTH CAROLINA, ALASKA, OHIO, MINNESOTA, TEXAS AND KANSAS. SEVEN ADDITIONAL CHAPTERS ARE IN FORMING STATUS: NEW HAMPSHIRE, KENTUCKY, MASSACHUSETTS, CONNECTICUT, INDIANA, NEBRASKA AND ARIZONA. TWO HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED DUE TO REORGANIZATION, FLORIDA AND MISSOURI. WE ARE COMMUNICATING WITH SEVERAL OTHER STATES AND AWAITING FORMAL PAPERWORK. OUR NATIONAL CHAPTER DIRECTOR HAS MADE TREMENDOUS PROGRESS IN ESTABLISHING AND MAINTAINING THESE CHAPTERS WITH A GOAL OF INCREASING OUR EFFORTS IN 2014. THESE CHAPTERS ARE KEY TO HELPING US FULFILL THE ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF FLAG REQUESTS STILL PENDING. |
