The Gold Star Families Foundation has been working with the national Hershel “Woody” Williams Medal of Honor Foundation (HWWMOHF) to plan and build, as well as raise the funds to make  the memorial in Sparks possible.

Honorary Foundation Board Members include Jon Yuspa, Sharon Oren, and David Sousa. Yuspa said another Gold Star Families Memorial is in the planning stages, for placement at a location to be determined, in southern Nevada.

A Gold Star Family member can be any relative: mother, father, stepmother, stepfather, adoptive or foster parents, wife, husband, child, stepchild, adopted child, brothers, sisters, half brothers or sisters, grandparents, grandchildren, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces or nephews who have sacrificed a loved one for our freedom.

The Gold Star Family Memorial was created by Medal of Honor Recipient Hershel “Woody" Williams to remember those families who have made the ultimate sacrifice. To learn more about the memorial, please visit our Gold Star Families Memorial Monument web page.

“Dying for freedom isn’t the worst thing that can happen; Being forgotten is." Said Georgie Carter-Krell (Mother of Posthumous Medal of Honor Recipient Pfc. Bruce W. Carter, USMC- Florida.
