Mission begins to restore the Gold Star Mothers Garden in Landis Park
View Comments
VINELAND – Just off Veterans Circle within Landis Park stands the few remnants of a community’s vow to never forget.
A neglected concrete pool and an iron gate, flanked by eroding brick pillars, are relics of the once sacred Mothers’ Garden of Remembrance.
The landscaped tribute was constructed as a companion to the Heroes Memorial Circle, where the community gathers for Memorial and Veterans Day observances.
The memorial circle pays tribute to Vineland’s sons who gave their lives in the name of freedom.
The remembrance garden dedicated 100 years ago honored the sacrifice of their mothers.
