A Solemn Place To Remember Our Heroes This Memorial Day
The Gold Star Families Memorial Monument on the memorial walkway, above, is one of 134 Gold Star Families Memorial Monuments located across the United States. The two-sided tribute is made of black granite and features scenes etched on each of the four panels including Homeland, Family, Patriot and Sacrifice. At the center is a silhouette of a saluting service member. The monument was placed by a foundation that honors Hershel “Woody” Williams of West Virginia, a U.S. Marine who served in the Battle of Iwo Jima and received the Congressional Medal of Honor. Williams died in 2022.
