Big Heart Brigade has supported the Renewal Coalition since its beginning in 2009. The retreats and events for the men, women, and caregivers are focused on the family sharing time together without the worries of expenses. Lodging, meals, entertainment, ground travel, and even the small amenities are the responsibility of Renewal Coalition and NOT the service members and their families. Big Heart Brigade takes pride in sharing the Renewal Coalition’s blessing as Americans and considers it a privilege to offer assistance to those who have given so much in the name of duty.

The Gold Star Families Memorial Monument

The purpose of the Gold Star Families Memorial Monument is to honor Gold Star Families, preserve the memory of the fallen, and stand as a stark reminder that Freedom is not free. This stunning black granite monument features two sides. One side bears the words: Gold Star Families Memorial Monument, a tribute to Gold Star Families and Relatives who have sacrificed a Loved One for our Freedom. The other side tells a story through the four granite panels: Homeland, Family, Patriot, and Sacrifice. The scenes on each panel are a reflection of each community’s Gold Star Families and their fallen Heroes. At the center of this tribute is the most distinct feature of the monument, the cut out which represents the Loved One who paid the ultimate sacrifice in the name of Freedom.
