who sacrificed a Loved One for our Freedom
This monument honors, recognizes, and serves Gold Star Families and the legacy of their Loved Ones who have paid the ultimate sacrifice while serving in the Armed Forces of the United States of America.
The Homeland panel depicts the images of the Majestic Mountains and the state flower Mountain Laurel. The beautiful state of Pennsylvania known as the Keystone State, is home to many Gold Star Families; it is our people, it is our family, it is our freedom.

The military community is one in which strangers turn into family, to carry on the legacy of their Loved Ones who have paid the ultimate sacrifice.
The Patriot panel shows the raising of the American Flag on Iwo Jima, which symbolizes those who vigorously support and defend our great Nation through selfless service in our Armed Forces.
The Sacrifice panel represents the sacrifices made by our Gold Star Families by the loss of their Loved One while in service to our country.
