Dying for freedom isn't the worst thing that can happen. Being forgotten is.”

This monument serves as a reminder to us all that freedom is not free. Those who serve in the armed forces write a blank check to our nation. They vow to protect all of us -- even at the cost of their lives -- so that we can retain our freedoms for as long as possible.
It is important to us that the families of these courageous men and women are recognized as part of the price of American freedom. This monument honors those families who each day, for the rest of their time on Earth, must move forward without their loved one. Consider this monument a sign of commitment, love and gratitude from our community to our Gold Star Families. It is a promise that we will always remember the price their loved ones paid and never ignore the heartbreak Gold Star Families endure.
Set in the heart of downtown Sandy City, this beautiful monument is in a public place, that is easily accessible for anyone to visit and pay their respects. We hope this will inspire people to talk about the price of freedom, and the responsibility we all have as beneficiaries of our freedoms. It reminds us that some gave all, and that it is our solemn duty to honor their sacrifices by lifting our community every chance we get.
Love, Honor, Sacrifice, Gratitude.
