Fox News apologized Saturday to a Gold Star family for publishing a false story last month claiming that the family had to pay $60,000 to ship the remains of their fallen relative back from Afghanistan because the Pentagon refused to pay.

I’m only guessing from reading the caption, but ‘pentagon’ leads me to believe the gold star is an award given to a soldier and not the family.
-so much for giving the benefit of the doubt. It is some weird shit after all.
Your guess is incorrect. When people lose a loved one, they are grieving and will choose to put up a flag if they want. It’s not mandatory, it’s not an award, and not given by the Pentagon.
