The Draper City Utah Gold Star Families Memorial Monument was dedicated on May 18, 2024. The project committee was led by Chairpersons Kellie Challburg and Paul Swenson and included David Dobbins, Troy Walker, David Wilks, Linda Peterson, Rhett Ogden, Clint Smith, Brad Jenson, Susan Edwards, Amanda Oaks, Kim and Todd Olsen, Kayleigh Snedeger, Marci Houseman, Rich Ferguson, Tim Herbert, Tony and Amy Galvez, and Jennie Taylor. This group of individuals came together with a common goal to make sure that we never forget.
Gold Star Family members and relatives are those who have sacrificed a Loved One for our Freedom.
The Gold Star Family Memorial was created by Medal of Honor Recipient Hershel “Woody" Williams to remember those families who have made the ultimate sacrifice. To learn more about the memorial, please visit our Gold Star Families Memorial Monument web page.
