For those of you that don't know what a Gold Star Family is, it is a family who had a child die in overseas combat (Iraq/Afghanistan/Etc).

I am re-posting the email that I received via the Patriot Guard Riders:

Bill is a Marine Veteran, and a Gold Star Father to Nick Uzenski, a Marine Recon
Sniper that was killed in action on January 11th, 2010.  Tragedy has
struck this amazing family again.  Yesterday Bill and his wife Rebekah
were fortunate to escape their house with their other children as a
fire raged uncontrollably.   Bill ran back into the house, trying to
save the items that belonged to his fallen son, and was only able to
retrieve the flag that was presented to them at his funeral.  All
photos, uniforms, medals, and childhood possessions were lost.

Now Bill and his family once again have to figure out how to survive
after a devastating event.  They fled the house with only the clothes
on their backs, some of which were only pajamas.

I'm asking everyone to please step forward and do what you can help
this family…if all you can do is spread the word, then I thank  you.
Bill has done so much to help others.  He has taken his grief of the
loss of his son and together with Country singer Stephanie Quayle
turned his loss into beautiful music that comforts and aids so many
others.  He's been traveling around the country performing at military
bases and Gold Star Events, and now it's our turn to help him.

He has a need for everything and anything.  Clothing is very
important, as is food.    You can google  "uzenski" and "fire" and you
see the photos and the story on it. 

Clothes sizes that are needed are:

5 year old twin boys between 5/6 and 6/7t
3 year old boy 4/5t
11 year old girl o/1 juniors
18 year old 5/7 juniors
Rebekka 2/4 pants
Bill: Pants 36:30

 How sad for the family to go through so much tragedy.
