Gold Star Mothers day memorial to be built in Manchester, NH


(NECN) Sunday is Gold Star Mothers day.

These are women who have lost children from military service.

On Sunday morning in Manchester, NH ground was broken on a new memorial in their honor.

Though a ceremony will be held March 30, the bronze statue isn't expected to be erected in downtown Manchester until September.

A committee, known as the New Hampshire Gold Star Mothers Memorial Association, still needs to raise about $125,000 for the statue.

NECN reporter Kristen Caira is in Manchester with the story.
