This monument erected in honor of the gallant Confederate soldiers of Hardin County who fought, died and suffered during the War Between the States 1861-1865.

Poor is a nation that has no heroes
Shameful is a nation that has heroes and forgets them
No nation can long survive without pride in its traditions.
