Kansas Senator Roger Marshall will be hosting Kansas Gold Star families in Washington D.C. for the Memorial Day weekend.
Gold Star families are those who lost a loved one in military service. The families will attend the First Division Monument rededication ceremony on Sunday that will add more than 631 names of First Infantry Division soldiers who were killed in action. The monument has the names of over 12,000 soldiers who died in service to the nation.
Senator Marshall will be hosting the families of SPC Joseph Lister, SSGT Zac Hargrove, PFC William Johnson, and Sgt. Kevin Gilbertson. He said at least a dozen Gold Star families will be in Washington for the ceremony.
