New England Gold Star Mothers Memorial

She Is Here!

The statue arrived in Manchester just before 6 p.m. Sunday, August 15, 2010.

It was escorted all the way from Gettysburg, PA by members of the Association and by Patriot Guard Riders in Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. Along the way, many people lined the route on the side of the road, even on overpass bridges.

The Association thanks all who made this escort possible, with special thanks to all of the Patriot Guard Riders who braved the downpour of rain at the beginning of the trip!
