Silver Star members are reaching across the United States approaching cities, towns, counties and state officials in hopes of permanently setting May 1st as Silver Star Banner Day.

Our goal is to recognize the blood and sacrifices of wounded, ill and dying Veterans as a result of injuries or illness originating in a war zone, including, Purple Heart recipients, victims of friendly fire, those who suffer from PTS, Agent Orange effects and Gulf War syndrome.
SSFOA assists in educating the public concerning the plight of these wounded, ill or dying heroes and provide many programs to aid in their progress. We sit on the VA Volunteer Service Advisory Board and work together with other troop organizations and groups to support in whatever way possible. SSFOA is a not for profit, all volunteer org and depends totally on donations.
