Dedication Plaque

May 17, 1992 - - a special dedication, memories - - sweet n’ bitter recollections.

August 1990, U.S. troops deployed to a foreign land, Saudia Arabia - - a country of sand.

To those who served with much pride, hearts were with you - - serving by your side.

As hearts cried out “From a distance”, “Let there be Peace” - - everyday we listened.

United States of America flags blew in the breeze, yellow ribbons hung and prayers were sent overseas.

Feb. 28, 1991 - - the “Gulf War” had been won, Pres. Bush sent troops home in March of 1991.

This Memorial Rock is more than a piece of cold stone, It represents Love-Support-Thanks, you were not alone.

This Rock is dedicated to “Desert Storm Veterans” we remember all who served in the wars of past, “We are proud to be an American”

(mother of a Desert Storm Veteran)
