Gray Construction Supports Lexington’s Gold Star Families Memorial Monument

Gray Construction provided the planning, site work and concrete for the monument located in Veteran’s Park in Lexington.

“This extraordinary monument will stand as a reminder of the great sacrifices of all of those who have served our country,” said Lexington Mayor Jim Gray during the ceremony.

The monument took four months to manufacture once designs were finalized. Its location was selected to cast a shadow through the missing soldier space within the monument during sunset.
