Donna Burhans lost her son Major Cody Khork in the Iran war more than a month ago. Since then, she has developed daily routines to help her cope with the grief.
When Burhans spoke with President Trump, she encouraged him to continue military operations. 'I told him to finish it,' she said. 'I said, Go get em. This is what my son signed up for.'
Burhans believes the military action against Iran was overdue. 'It's a long time coming,' she explained. 'It should have been done a long time ago, and Trump is the only one man enough to stand up and do it. They hate America.'
Meanwhile, Iran has responded to families of captured American service members. Iranian officials told the mother of a missing US F-15 pilot that her son faces greater danger under Trump than in Iranian custody. They promised to treat any captured Americans with dignity and respect.
Other military families have expressed different reactions to the conflict, with some mothers sharing concerns about their children serving during the escalating tensions.
Gold Star families often influence public opinion on military conflicts. Their support or opposition can shape how Americans view ongoing wars and military spending that affects tax dollars.
Watch for more Gold Star family reactions and any further Iranian responses to captured American personnel.
