SILVER STAR FAMILIES OF AMERICA
The Silver Star Families of America Initiatives for Web Site Accessibility
The Silver Star Families of America is striving to provide web site content that is accessible to all. This is an on going effort and includes cooperation between many organizations.
At this point in time we believe that the SSFOA web site meets the requirements for a Priority One rating as defined in the W3C section 11.4 “List of Checkpoints for Web Content.” Note below.
The SSFOA will continue to work to allow individuals with disabilities complete access to our web site.

Pledge is signed
Silver Star Pledge
We pledge on our honor
To remember and assist the wounded
and ill of our Armed Forces
From ALL wars to the best of our ability.
We pledge that we will never forget
That we will always remember
The sacrifices you have made.
The blood sweat and tears that you shed
Will remain on our minds and in our hearts
And we will forever be grateful
We pledge that we will remind others
So that all remember
That you gave up so much
So that this Nation would not perish from the face of the earth.
God bless the United States of America

Thank you. I LOVE YOU.
