FOUNDING & ORGANIZATION
Building the Cobb Chapter
Our research has identified Lillian Tallman and Evelyn Duncan as members of the Cobb County Chapter of American Gold Star Mothers. Duncan was serving as Chapter President in 2005. We are continuing to research the women who served as leaders and members of the Cobb County and Marietta-area Gold Star Mothers.
Was someone in your family a member of this chapter? We would love to hear her story and help preserve her place in Georgia Gold Star Mothers history.

American Gold Star Mothers-Dedicated May 10, 1979
DO YOU RECOGNIZE THESE NAMES?
The names engraved on these memorials represent sons whose mothers were members of the Cobb County Chapter of American Gold Star Mothers. While their sons' names have been preserved in stone, we are still working to identify the mothers behind them and preserve their stories.
Do you recognize a name? Were you related to one of these servicemen, or do you have photographs, newspaper clippings, documents, or memories connected to his family?
We would love to hear from you.
Help us carry their mothers' stories forward to the 2028 Centennial of American Gold Star Mothers—honoring 100 years of remembrance, service, and sacrifice.
