Description
A new memorial for Gold Star moms and families has been unveiled at Lynnwood's Veterans Park.
Jane Hughes prepared yellow roses to be handed out to families of military veterans, on a crisp November afternoon.
"Yellow is for when they come home," she said, somberly.
Sometimes our veterans come home from war, sometimes they don't.
In Jane's case, her daughter Danielle did, but the war never left her.
"When they come home and they have issues that's even more difficult because you just don't know," Jane said.
Danielle Hughes Crone joined the United States Air Force straight out of high school, as America went to war with Iraq.
The staff sergeant was a decorated airman, flying 130 sorties over eight deployments in the middle east. Her time there spanned seven years.
She had finally made it back to friendly soil, but that was when her internal battle began. Danielle died by suicide just a few months after returning home.
She was 25 years old.
