- Gold Star Families Speak Out is comprised of MFSO members whose loved ones served in the military during the period including the build-up to the war in Iraq (2002) to the present, and have been killed or have died. We believe the best way to support our troops is to bring them home now and to take good care of them when they get here. http://www.GSFSO.org
