Giving A Lift: Blue Star Mothers of America
Blue Star Mothers of America (BSMA) is a remarkable organization dedicated to providing support for mothers with children in active military service. Their mission not only involves supporting each other and their children but also promoting patriotism across the nation. On this significant day, marking our country’s anniversary, they joined FOX 45 to discuss the vital work they are doing for mothers throughout Maryland.
Christeanna Levesque, President of BSMA, highlighted that the organization has been active across the country since World War II. Maryland has seen three chapters of BSMA over the years, with the current chapter proudly serving the community for the past decade.
Nicole Gourdine-Kelly, Vice President of BSMA, shared her personal experience, emphasizing how the organization has brought her peace of mind regarding her children’s service. She said, “When I’m talking to different service members, I realize it’s a family organization. Even though they aren’t with immediate family, the military is a family of its own.”
In recognition of their outstanding support for the community, FOX 45 and Easterns Automotive Group surprised BSMA with a $2200 check. This generous gesture is part of the Giving a Lift initiative, which supports community groups and non-profits that uplift their neighbors through various programs and outreach efforts.
We at Easterns Automotive Group are proud to support Blue Star Mothers of America and their invaluable contribution to military families. Their dedication and patriotic spirit are truly inspiring.
