It is to be placed parallel to Fourth St. This monument is being planned by John Conor, who also heads up the annual veterans parade held in November. The Gold Star Family memorial will honor those families who lost a loved one during a time of conflict.
Instead, Patterson suggested using the inscription stating "All Gave Some, Some Gave All," as pictured in a photo used to show the placement of the memorial at the park - diagonally from the large monument noting the county's war casualties from World War I through Vietnam War and the Post-9/11 Memorial. It references what many veterans of the Vietnam era felt was a failure of other organizations to advocate for the needs of Vietnam veterans, including health care access, identification of injuries and illnesses tied to military service and a full accounting of America's prisoners or war or missing in action personnel. The inscription Patterson references is taken from the VVA founding principle. It is also to include an inscription that the memorial is "Dedicated to all who served during the Vietnam War and a solemn tribute to those who made the supreme sacrifice."
