Donald Trump Jr. Recognizes Gold Star Family at Spanish Fork Rodeo

Last night Spanish Fork welcomed a very special guest to the Fiesta Days Rodeo — Donald Trump Jr.

While in Utah to meet with GOP candidates and celebrate that state’s Pioneer Day holiday, Trump Jr. attended the rodeo to personally recognize a Gold Star family and thank them for their sacrifice.

Gold Star status is given to the surviving family members of servicemen and -women who’ve lost their lives in the line of duty, acknowledging the sacrifice they and their families have made to protect our freedom

A Gold Star family can display a Gold Star Service Flag in memory of loved ones they’ve lost and the number of gold stars on the flag corresponds to with the number of individuals who were killed or died.
