Fox News
Gold Star Spouses Day is April 5, 2022. It honors the loved ones of U.S. military members who have lost their lives; it acknowledges the spouses who have stood behind our military members. Fox News Digital spoke to Tamra Sipes, president of Gold Star Wives, a nonprofit service group.
"You lose the love of your life, it's hard to put one step in front of another." There is so much more work to be done on behalf of these families, said Tamra Sipes. That is why, she emphasized, "every voice counts." "We’re trying to help this generation," said Tamra Sipes of the Gold Star Wives nonprofit organization. Gold Star Wives is fighting to enhance and improve the financial benefits for U.S military spouses and families today.
Tamra Sipes, national president of Gold Star Wives of America, a nonprofit service organization, is the surviving spouse of Navy SAR Corpsman Robert Sipes. He died in October 1995 in a house fire at age 34. She was only 28, with three small children, when she was widowed.
