3. Are the Gold Star Mothers distancing themselves from her?

I heard that they were pointing out that she IS NOT THE GOLD STAR MOTHERS org.

4. As far as I know (and I am no expert on the matter) some are and some

aren't.

But the fact remains, she *is* a gold star mother. Here's an explanation from one of the gold star sites:

"Gold star mothers" is a term that came into general use with the creation of the service flags used to show that a family had a son in the service (a blue star) or a son that had died in the service (a gold star covering the blue star). Mothers of slain servicemen came to be known as gold star mothers. The phrase is sometimes capitalized but this is incorrect because it is not the proper name of any organization. The phrase is generic and, through customary usage has come to designate any mother whose child has been lost in war.

A group of gold star mothers met in 1928 and formed the organization American Gold Star Mothers, Inc (AGSM). AGSM is a private organization and you must apply for membership if you wish to join. AGSM is also a non-profit, 501 C(3), organization and as such cannot engage in political or lobbying activities. Our members may have their own views which they are free to express, but these opinions are not those of AGSM. The organization takes no position on political issues of the day but does support our military and has many activities that reflect that support. There is more information on our history here.

We are not directly connected with any other organizations but we do communicate with similar organizations which share our purpose.
