One of twelve children raised in a cabin, Dolly Parton left home carrying nothing but songs to become the most beloved figure in American music. She wrote "I Will Always Love You" as a goodbye to Porter Wagoner. Today it belongs to all of us.
Thank you #DollyParton for writing & recording "Daddy Won't Be Home Anymore" about Gold Star mothers & children of the Vietnam War.
Her care & concern for those who lost loved ones in the Vietnam War was motivation for this 1970 song!

Today, I was honored to host the Gold Star Advisory Council.
We remain steadfast in honoring the memory of our fallen service members and ensuring their families are never forgotten or left behind.
#GoldStarFamilies personify the resilience of the American spirit!
At home, they endured horrible news from a distant warfront. Yet they moved ahead carrying on the legacies of their fallen heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice. 🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸
