Air Force Gold Star family members (parents, adult children and siblings) are now being offered the opportunity to receive a Gold Star identification card, which authorizes access to Air Force bases in the continental United States, Alaska and Hawaii. By allowing these families unescorted access to Air Force installations, they can visit their loved one's gravesite, attend memorials and basewide events, and stop by the Airman and Family Readiness Center for immediate and long-term compassionate support. Gold Star families fall under the Air Force Families Forever program, which ensures all families of our fallen Airmen are never forgotten. To reach the Air Force Families Forever program, call 866-299-0596, or search Facebook for 'af families forever support network.'
