Gold Star Peak, Inc.

The Rock When the family and friends of fallen Night Stalker SSG Tanner W. Grone reached the summit of Gold Star Peak on 17 August 2024, they were moved to find a painted rock with their son and brother’s name on it. The single rock also had the names of the entire crew from the 10 November 2023 fatal crash. Mr. Grone mentioned at the time that he wished he had brought a rock to Alaska to place there as well; he mentioned his brother in law had the unique ability to etch on rocks. Mr. Grone reached out recently and said he had a rock to send us and if we wouldn’t mind bringing to the summit on our next climb. It arrived Monday, and Tuesday we brought it up the mountain and laid it alongside the other fallen Night Stalkers. It was an amazing climb and summit remembering and honoring Tanner and his fallen crew-members. Say their names: CW3 Stephen R. Dwyer CW2 Shane M. Barnes SSG Tanner W. Grone SGT Andrew P.

ConocoPhillips - Alaska has been an incredible supporter of ours since 2020; we’re grateful for their continued support of our mission, vision, and most importantly those we serve. With Camp Gold Star Peak's Remembrance Park now complete, we’re excited to now offer year-round adventures to the park. Our ability to do so was only made possible from the support from ConocoPhillips. Their generous support this year provided our team with a brand new snowmobile from in Eagle River to assist those we serve with visiting Remembrance Park throughout the long winter. Most importantly for our team, is our ability to now serve those with physical or mobility issues. It's something our team has been working hard on to provide everyone an opportunity to honor and remember their heroes, regardless of disabilities. If the limiting factor to adventure with us has been because of time or disability, we’ve solved it with the direct support from the team at ConocoPhillips - Alaska. #veterans #goldstars #activeduty

We Shall Never Forget These four simple words continue to be spoken and written regularly. This week, we turned those words into action by showing our continued commitment to never forget. Recently, a Gold Star Mother reached out and asked if I would honor her son on the summit of Gold Star Peak. I couldn’t think of a better way than to adventure his Dog Tag to the summit and place it on the honor tower for all to see, honor, and remember. Before placing it on the tower, I asked the group of climbers we were with to come together, hands all in, to honor her request. This photo is our way of reassuring her that We Shall Never Forget.

RLTW, NSDQ, LLTB We just completed Operation Honor and Remember VI with a successful summit of Gold Star Peak. Each year, CSM(R) Jeff Mellinger sends out invitations to his friends including Gold Stars and Veterans spanning his almost 40 years of active duty service. This year, the participants represented almost every branch of service and came from all over the U.S. All, either served alongside CSM(R) Mellinger, or their careers crossed somewhere along the way, including combat zones. The group included Gold Stars, Doctors, Rangers, SEALS, Medics, Night Stalkers, and Veterans. All of them not only served in, but commanded or supported some of our nations most elite and historic formations; the entire group brought close to 400 years of combined military service to the trail and ultimately onto the summit. The climbers came to honor 12 separate fallen heroes and the families they all left behind, they were General Officers, Senior Leaders, Senior Enlisted Leaders, Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and a Marine. #RLTW, #NSDQ, #LLTB #Soldierforlife #goldstars #veteranshelpingveterans #furthertogether
