It is because of the sacrifices of these
brave soldiers that we are privileged to enjoy
the rights and freedoms that all Americans share.

Mechanicsburg Boy Scout Troop 80.
He wanted to have a place for people to
relax and reflect on the heroism of the
brave men and women of this country who
fought to keep America a free and safe nation.

God Bless America
