A dedication ceremony for the new Gold Star Memorial will take place
on November 10th at 2pm at the Concord Senior Center, 2727 Parkside
Circle.
The following is from the City of Concord:
The Gold Star Memorial commemorates the 13 local military service
personnel who gave their lives for their country in recent conflicts in
Iraq and Afghanistan, and is sponsored by the Contra Costa Blue Star
Moms, California Chapter 20.
The memorial was designed and built by Eagle Scout Julian Houghtby as
a community service project and consists of a series of mosaic tiles
installed at the base of the flag pole in front of the Concord Senior
Center. Each tile features a gold star. A marble plaque lists the names
of the fallen servicemen.
