Caption: County Named Galatin face of monument
Additional Description: The Governor from Warsaw marker has been bolted to the other side of the stacked stone and mortar monument.

The small plaque on the side of the monument is titled “Soldier’s Prayer” and placed by the Gallatin Fort No. 145, American Legion, in memory of servicemen of Gallatin County since 1798. It reads,

Oh God of Battle, Lord of Might—
A sentry in the silent night—
I, who’ve never prayed
Kneel on the dew damp sand to say:
Oh, keep me through the coming day!
But, please remember, though I pray,
That I am not afraid.
