I read with interest the other day Joan Kitchen Murray's blog posting about Gold Star Mothers.
The reason it caught my eye had to do with timing. I had cause just recently to research a soldier who was killed in WWI -- and his mother happened to be one of the Gold Star Mothers who traveled to the cemeteries in Europe. I discovered this when her trip showed up in Ancestry.com's Immigration Collection. So for those interested in Gold Star Mothers, don't neglect to check passenger arrival records for more evidence of the journey.
