The City of Laurel will be the first city in Maryland to host the GoldStars Tribute Wall™ .
It is the only traveling memorial of its kind that honors the 7,416 fallen heroes of the Gulf, Iraq, and Afghanistan Wars.

- Friday, September 23 at 10 a.m Honor the Fallen Ceremony
- Saturday, September 24 at 1 p.m. Presentation
- Sunday, September 25 at Noon 2.2 mile Walk for Vets
