         The Honorable F. James Sensenbrenner, Jr.
         House of Representatives
         Subject: Federally Chartered Corporation: Financial Statement Audit Report for

                   the American Gold Star Mothers, Inc., for Fiscal Years 2005 and 2004

         Dear Mr. Sensenbrenner:

         As requested, we read the audit report covering the financial statements of the
         American Gold Star Mothers, Inc., a federally chartered corporation, for the fiscal
         years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. The corporation's purposes include perpetuating
         the ideals of Americanism for which members' loved ones fought and died.

         Federally chartered corporations are required under 36 U.S.C. § 10101 to

         * present the corporation's assets and liabilities and reasonable detail on the
            corporation's income and expenses in annual financial statements and

         * obtain an annual financial audit by an independent public accountant.

         Our objective was to advise you of any matters in the report regarding compliance
         with the financial reporting requirements of the law. In carrying out our work, we
         read the corporation's financial statements and the accompanying notes, performed
         certain analytical procedures related to information presented in the financial
         statements, and read the auditor's report. We did not identify any instance of
         noncompliance with the above financial reporting requirements of the law.

         We did not perform an audit or review the auditor's audit documentation, and we are
         not rendering an audit opinion. However, we did hold limited discussions with the
         corporation's auditor regarding potential enhancements to the corporation's financial
         reporting.

         The audit report included the auditor's opinion that the financial statements of the
         corporation were presented fairly on a modified cash basis of accounting. We are
         returning the audit report you sent with your letter.
