City, Families Dedicate Statue to Fallen Troops
The families of 11 Pasadena-area troops who died in Iraq and Afghanistan came together Monday to witness the public unveiling of a monument honoring their lost loved ones.
Local Gold Star families, named for the stars representing fallen soldiers on service flags, spent years raising funds and seeking approvals for the $600,000 bronze statue at Defenders Park, on the corner of Colorado and Orange Grove boulevards.
