Here in the United States army garrison ,

Ryland faults at Pulaski barracks . We

00:15.529 --> 00:17.629
recognize the gold star mothers and

00:17.639 --> 00:20.610
their families with a ceremony uh also

00:20.620 --> 00:22.398
with the bench that's behind me

00:22.620 --> 00:25.809
symbolizing the army's gratitude for

00:25.819 --> 00:28.209
the sacrifice of those family members

00:28.219 --> 00:30.386
and also to give them a place of peace

00:30.386 --> 00:32.219
and quiet that they can come and

00:32.219 --> 00:34.275
reflect upon the sacrifices of their
