A dream began in 1970 for two Gold Star Mothers, Louise Gavin and Margaret Siegrist. It was to have a memorial for their only sons killed in action in the Viet Nam War, and for all their comrades in that and other wars. They led the way and along with the people of the community, raised funds to purchase a sculptured soldier holding a Vietnames child.
