of the courageous men of America. It is the responsibility of every one of us to keep the great ideal for which they fought and died. We must keep the faith with these Honored Dead. It is to us, the Living, that the Torch of Liberty and Freedom and Brotherly Love has been passed on. May we stand shoulder to shoulder with the Pioneer and with our Honored Dead, to continue to build this great nation, their country and our, the United States of America.
Erected 1976 by Duncan Community.
