Inscription. Dedicated to those who served and died
May their sacrifice forever inspire freedom
"I was that which others did not want to be. I went where others feared to go, and did what others feared to do.
I asked nothing from those who gave nothing, and reluctantly accepted the thought of eternal loneliness should I fail.
I have seen the face of terror, felt the stinging cold of fear, and have enjoyed the sweet taste of a moment's love.
I have cried, hurt and hoped, but most of all, I knew that someday I would be able to say that I was proud and honored to serve my country."

Dedicated by the Manitowoc County United Veterans Council and Friends this 9th Day of November 1986

On Memorial Day May 30, 1969 the American Legion Post 83 Manitowoc dedicated the eternal flame to all veterans of Manitowoc County. The flame was kept burning with donations from the American Legion, other veteran organizations and concerned citizens of Manitowoc County until 1993 when funds were received from the Fanny Angus Healy Trust for perpetual care of the eternal flame and the Veterans Memorial.
