1. In Honor of All Veterans Marker

Inscription.
To those who have
served in peace, we are
thankful for their
steady watch and
perseverance. To those
who have seen battle,
we know there are no
unwounded comrades
Those who gave their
lives that others may
live theirs freely,
we are eternally
grateful.
