A Gold Star Families Memorial Monument (GSFMM) was dedicated at Riverside Park on Thursday, May 26, 2022. Created by WWII veteran, Hershel “Woody” Williams in 2013, the GSFMM honors the families of servicemembers who have sacrificed their lives while serving in the military. A committee chaired by Perrysburg resident, Veronica Mora, worked to bring the GSFMM to Northwest Ohio.
