News reports on the passing of Gold Star Wives Founder Marie Jordan Speer

25 Oct 2019 11:57 AM | Savannah Lawrence
A very nice video tribute of GSW Founder Marie Speer was posted by KIII TV from South Texas. You can see the video below or at www.goldstarwives.org.

Additionally, Caller Times (part of the USA Today Network) has an in-depth article about Marie Speer, reporting on the founding of the organization in 1945, Eleanor Roosevelt's membership and role in the charter, and more about Mrs. Speer's life. The article was also picked up by the MSN website

Message from our President and Board Chair:
