GOLD STAR FAMILIES MEMORIAL MONUMENT
Next Wednesday is Veterans Day, a day for America to honor all those who have served in the military. Veterans Day is of particular importance to Northwest Florida, given our district’s deep, rich, and storied connection to the United States Armed Forces.
At 11:00 a.m., the Veterans Memorial Park Foundation of Pensacola will dedicate a Gold Star Families Memorial Monument, in a ceremony officiated by World War Two hero, and Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, Hershel “Woody” Williams.
