For the first time, Gold Star Base Access ID cards were recently issued to three family members of fallen Airmen at Joint Base Andrews, Md. These cards are part of an Air Force initiative allowing Gold Star families unescorted access to Air Force installations to visit buried loved ones, attend base events and stop by Airmen and Family Readiness Centers for immediate and long-term emotional support. The Gold Star ID program is scheduled for Air Force-wide implementation beginning May 15, 2017. For more information, talk with your local Air Force Families Forever program or call 210-565-1366.
