Talk:Gold Star Lapel Button

The US Army has an image of both the Gold Star Family and Next-of-Kin pins on its Website that could be added to the Gold Star Lapel Button article.

http://www.army.mil/media/289313/

My understanding is that images created by the US Government are generally copyright-free, and in any case it would seem this would be an issue of fair use.

I would have added the image myself to the article, but Wikipedia's instructions for adding images are far too complicated for a non-software engineer to comprehend. The link above goes directly to the image. 76.0.9.1 (talk) 10:27, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

Unfortunately the link no longer works and, despite searching the site, I could not find another. Please leave a message on my talk page if you find it again and I will happily assist with uploading it. Ifnord (talk) 22:14, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
