Every medal tells a story of bravery, hard work, and great achievement, but few people know how one of America's greatest military awards, The Purple Heart, came to be. The Medal With A Heart tells this story, and it begins in 1782 with George Washington and the Revolutionary War.

The book is available in a standard version for the general public that retails for $17.95.

The second version is a personalized copy that features a Purple Heart recipient's bio and picture. You may submit the picture and short bio to the publisher through the website or by e-mail.  This version of the book is only available through M.T. Publishing Company, Inc.’s website and retails for $37.50. The Purple Heart Veteran is featured on page 33 of the publication and the design is adjusted from the standard version to accommodate the bio and picture. (This personalized version takes about three weeks to manufacture and ship when ordered.)

​Copies of the standard version will be available at the 2022 National Convention.  What a great gift this would be for your local preschools, schools, and public libraries!

National Headquarters, Our Home Away from Home.

Picture


American Gold Star Mothers, Inc. headquarters is located at:
2128 Leroy Place, NW, Washington, DC 20008
​
A pleasant residential street with embassies and consulates nearby.  Our neighbors are friendly and watch the house when we are not there.

Headquarters was purchased in April 1954 for $25,000 during the presidency of Elise C. Nielsen. President Nielsen was principally responsible for the headquarters project; searching out real estate and loaning the down payment to AGSM, Inc. to purchase the Leroy Street property. She was repaid in September of 1955. The house was formerly owned by the nearby Episcopal church and used by the pastor as a residence.
​
Keeping the property maintained is an ongoing activity.  In 2005 a new kitchen was installed on the ground floor.  In 2007 central air conditioning was installed, which is appreciated by moms visiting in the hot summer months. In 2016 and 2017 the hardwood floors were refinished on the first floor and the carpet was replaced  on the second and third floors.  In 2019 the office was upgraded, and new furniture installed. 

Updates are underway at Headquarters in early 2021 including plumbing repairs including a tankless water heater, butler's pantry updates, additional kitchen storage, new countertops, bathroom repairs and more... A HUGE Thank You goes out to the amazing Veterans from Helmets to Hardhats who have worked so hard on every project!
