This will be the first Gold Star Families Memorial Monument in Idaho. It will honor and remember the fallen and their families, who bear the loss of a loved one in military service to our nation and the preservation of our freedom. The monument will be a permanent tribute to our brave service men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation, and a witness to the loss borne by the loved ones they left behind.
