The Blue Star Memorial is located on Sawyer Common at Hollis Street and Martins Pond Road. This memorial was created by the Groton Garden Club in 2011. The marker is part of a nationwide program sponsored by the National Garden Clubs, Inc. to honor men and women who have served and are serving in the Armed Forces. The club worked with the Park Department to choose the site and prepare the area for planting. The garden was dedicated on Veteran's Day at 11AM on November 11th, 2011. The club maintains this garden year round and in addition, places green wreaths on all ten monuments at Sawyer Common in December.
