CEDAR CREEK
The safety and perpetuity of the
Republic are buttressed in the hearts
of the people, who, in the hour of danger
become its invincible defenders.
Of all human things nothing is more honorable or more
excellent than to deserve well of one’s country.
A glorious death is his who for his country falls.

COLD HARBOR
Tis a rough land of rock, and stone, and tree,
Where breathes no castled lord nor cabin'd slave,
Where thoughts, and hands, and tongues are free,
And friends will find a welcome - foes a grave.
Hearts of oak our ships,
Hearts of oak our men.
One flag, one land, one heart, one hand,
Our nation evermore!

WILDERNESS
Soldier rest! Thy warfare o'er,
Dream of fighting fields no more;
Sleep the sleep that knows not breaking,
Morn of toil, nor night of waking.
To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.
And though the warrior's sun has set
Its light shall linger round us yet,
Bright radiant, blest.
Erected 1912 by Riley E. Wright.
