A new Gold Star Families Memorial Monument (GSFMM) honoring the families of servicemen and women who sacrificed their lives while serving in the military is currently being planned in Milwaukee. The committee is forming and fundraising initiatives have started. The monument will be located on the Milwaukee County War Memorial grounds on the Lake Michigan lakefront.
Dale Egan is the Vice President for the Gold Star Family Memorial Monument, Woody Williams Foundation, and is spearheading the effort. To learn more about donating to a Gold Star Families Memorial Monument, please contact the Foundation at contact@woodywilliams.org.
Gold Star Family members and relatives are those 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.”

Any excess funds raised for this Gold Star Families Memorial Monument Project will be used to further the mission to honor and serve Gold Star Families and the legacy of their Loved Ones who have paid the ultimate sacrifice.
