Jane Horton Jane Horton, your story is powerful. It tells what war does to us all. To humanity. And your love for Afghanistan, its people and culture is deep and thought-provoking. Thanks for sharing your story with افغانستان اینترنشنال.

My guest of honor on the House Floor is Jack, Gold Star son of Army SFC Elis Barreto. Jack wants to be an actor, plays soccer, and loves video games. His father was the best of us, an American hero. We will always keep our commitment to our Gold Star families.

On 9/9/2011, Jane Horton's husband (and our executive director's college friend), Chris Horton, gave his life for our country as part of Operation Enduring Freedom. He made the ultimate sacrifice.

Jane has honored his memory by devoting her life to advocating for Gold Star…

Remembering Army Spc. Chris Horton, who was killed in action in Afghanistan 12 years ago today.

My prayers are with Chris' wife, Jane Horton, who is a source of strength, inspiration and action for our Gold Star families. God bless our Gold Star spouses and families.

“How could my husband die, and his death didn’t break me, yet the fall of the country he died in did? How could this be worse than the knock at the door?”

A powerful reflection from a Gold Star wife as we remember the Afghanistan withdrawal.

Powerful opinion; a must read: Why the fall of #Afghanistan in 2021 broke me in a way my husband’s death didn’t cnn.com/2023/08/30/opi…

If you’re an American and you love your country, do yourself a favor, take a moment out of your day, and read this beautiful piece from a dear friend.
May Gd bless you Jane Horton, and may Gd bless America.

Proud of my friend Jane Horton and all she has done to help Gold Star families. I remember crying with her after her husband was KIA in Afghanistan in 2009 and crying with her again during the disastrous withdrawal. Read this. cnn.com/2023/08/30/opi…
