Commemorative Stars
As part of the fundraising effort for the "Windows on Wellwood" project, two hundred thirty blue and fifteen engraved gold stars were bought to honor living or deceased veterans.
The gold stars, dedicated to those who were killed in action, are mounted directly on the windows. A special oak cabinet was constructed to house the two hundred thirty blue stars. The cabinet, located under three small stained glass windows, is engraved with the motto, "For Those Who Served". The cabinet was dedicated before a large gathering of veterans, legislators and community members on Memorial Day weekend, May 27, 2000.
The Gold Stars mounted directly on the windows are in honor of the following veterans:
