1. Monroe County (Ga.) Veterans Memorial — Obelisk (front)

Inscription. [Obelisk (front)]
Dedicated to all
Monroe Countians
who served our
country
and
in memory of
those who made the
supreme sacrifice
They died that
others may
live free
[Obelisk (back)]
Freedom is not free
“The willingness to sacrifice
is the prelude to freedom”
This memorial is dedicated
with appreciation to the
men and women whose loyalty
and services during times of
war and peace define the
character of this great nation
We stand here humbly reminded
of the freedom they preserved
Remembering their
sacrifices
