Gold star families gathered on for a special Memorial Day ceremony at a New Jersey cemetery founded by one of the state's most influential civil rights activists.
Jacqueline Dixon was among the families that accepted flowers during the Monday ceremony. Her son, Anthony, was 20-years-old when he was killed while serving in Iraq.
"I'll still be grieving, but it gets better as the years go on and as people continue to honor him," said Jacqueline, who credits her faith in God for helping her find comfort. The Dempsey Butler Cemetery, where the Memorial Day ceremony was held, has been the final resting place for military veterans dating back to the Civil War.
