Inscription.
Front:
To Honor All Combat
Infantrymen
We were boys and we were young
We became men on that hill we overran
Some of us lived, many of us died
For a moment with us abide
and join in prayer with me
to honor those of the combat infantry

Back: Dedicated to all Alabama
combat infantrymen
Freedom has a price
the protected will never know

Erected by Alabama Regiment, Combat Infantryman's Association.
