The Gold Star Families Memorial Monument serves as a tribute to all Gold Star Families
and Relatives across the country, including North Wildwood and New Jersey, who sacrificed a
Loved One for Our Freedom. The pillars of the Monument represent the sacrifices of the brave
men and women who served the United States of America, and the families and community that
supported the service members along the way.
“While we must never forget the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice
for the survival of liberty and freedom of this great nation, we must also never forget those Gold
Star Families that supported and grieved their fallen loved ones,” stated Mayor Patrick Rosenello.
“We are honored to be able to dedicate the beautiful Gold Star Monument and the renovated
Veteran’s Park to those courageous families. It will serve as a great reminder to all why we
celebrate our Veterans each day.”

complete Phase 1 of the overall Gateway Enhancement Project, funded by the North Wildwood
Veterans Committee, the Run to Remember, the Woody Williams Foundation, the New Jersey
Department of Community Affairs, Cape May County Open Space Program, and the City of North
Wildwood.
All are welcome to join alongside Veterans of the North Wildwood VFW Post 5941, City
of North Wildwood officials, Gold Star Family members, religious leaders, elected officials,

families of the fallen.
