The City of Federal Way installed a plaque honoring Gold Star Families at the Veterans Memorial next to the Performing Arts and Event Center this week. 

King County Councilmember Pete von Reichbauer spearheaded and led the efforts to acquire the funding to make this plaque a reality.

A Gold Star family is a designation indicating the family has experienced the loss of a loved one—an immediate family member—who died as the result of active-duty military service.
