Dozens of veterans, city officials and others gathered at Celebration Park on Saturday, when the Marine Hills Garden Club donated a Blue Star Marker to the city of Federal Way.

Saturday marked Armed Forces Day and the marker will honor past, present and future armed forces.

Former club president Debbie Angel came up with the idea to purchase the bronze plaque in 2012. With a unanimous vote, the club raised enough money, $410, to purchase the marker.
