GROTON, Conn. (Sept. 25, 2020) Naval Submarine Base (SUBASE) New London commanding officer Capt. Todd Moore reads the list of fallen service members, as Torpedoman's Mate 2nd Class Ian Stoll rings a bell after each name read, during the base’s fifth annual “Bells Across America for Fallen Service Members” ceremony, a Gold Star Remembrance Week event. In June 1936, Congress designated the last Sunday in September as "Gold Star Mother's Day," and today, Gold Star Mother’s Day has expanded to encompass “Gold Star Mother’s and Family’s Day” and “Gold Star Remembrance Week.” (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist Seaman Jimmy Ivy III)
