The success of the Gold Star Families Memorial Monument initiative has been largely driven by countless volunteers, organizations, individuals, and companies.

It's very important that the family's sacrifice is remembered, and UPS is honored to both help fund the monument at Kentucky's state capitol, and provide the transportation for it," UPS Airlines President Brendan Canavan said.
