EAST HARTFORD — A massive new memorial honoring more than 30,000 men and women who have died in military service will be installed next week on the Goodwin College campus.
The Connecticut Fallen Star Memorial depicts a half-buried, 20-foot-tall star that is surrounded by benches and three bronze life-sized statues of an old man, a young woman, and small boy. The star pays tribute to fallen soldiers and sailors, while the statues placed strategically around it honors Gold Star families, so named because they've lost a family member on a battlefield.
