New monument unveiled at Lake Oswego Veterans Day ceremony

“All gave some – some gave all” are the words written on the front of the Lake Oswego Veterans Memorial in Foothills Park. For this Veterans Day, a new monument was unveiled that honors Gold Star families or families of those service members who are lost in combat and the ceremony featured speakers from the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and Air Force. “We are gathered here on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, every year, to honor the sacrifice of men and women … we’re going to have a powerful day today,” said Marc Di Francisco of Lake Oswego VFW during the event. The new Gold Star Families monument was made possible through the efforts of the Lake Oswego Veterans Foundation, Blue Star Mothers of Oregon and the Woody Williams Foundation.
