To bring Veterans and Survivors together in nature to remember and honor the fallen and bring healing to all.
About
The idea for Gold Star Peak, Inc began with a project to name an unnamed peak near the Chugach State Park in Alaska. The peak, now named “Gold Star Peak”, was named to honor the families who lost a loved one while serving in the military. No one has given more to our country than the families of our fallen: our Gold Star Families. The naming of the peak was a very small token of our appreciation for the unthinkable sacrifices they have endured. Gold Star Peak quickly turned into something much bigger as the connection among Gold Star Families and Veterans, especially in nature, is a connection where many walk away feeling an enormous sense of healing. Vision: To improve the wellbeing of military Veterans and the Gold Star Families of service members who have given their lives in time of war, through education, support, and advocacy. We are a team of Gold Star Families, veterans, service members and their families, that have all seen the devastation that combat has brought from the battlefields to our homes and communities. Gold Star Peak, Inc. was formed in direct response to the growing number of individuals and families that continue to struggle from the effects associated with years of continued combat service. We connect Veterans and Gold Star Family members together in nature, assisting with their overall healing and grieving process. What we know and have experienced firsthand is these mountains heal.
