The Winston Oregon Gold Star Families Memorial Monument Committee was established in July 2023 with the mission of constructing a Gold Star Families Memorial Monument in Douglas County, Oregon.

 

On April 15, 2024, the Winston City Council unanimously approved the donation of land in Winston Dillard County Park for the monument’s construction.

 

On April 18th, 2024, we held an official groundbreaking ceremony in the park. This significant event not only marks the official commencement of our mission in Winston but also serves as a solemn tribute to the memory of USAF SSgt Rory Steven Berg, who we lost on April 18th, 2011. We honor his service and his sacrifice.

 

Additionally, on April 22nd, 2024, The News Review published an article highlighting our commitment to honoring Gold Star Families in Douglas County. Our mission includes the establishment of a Gold Star Families Memorial Monument, symbolizing our gratitude and remembrance for those who have lost loved ones in service to our nation.
