Inscription. As America loves her liberty, so will she honor her patriots who risked their lives and spilled their blood to keep her free.

This memorial is dedicated to Kalamazoo County disabled veterans of all of the American Wars. June 14, 1985

May the courage and faithfulness of those whom we honor and memorialize
in these statues become a living legacy in the hearts of those who
view them, that the worthy hopes for which they suffered may find new
champions. Make us grateful, keep us free and give us peace.

Sculpture by Kirk Newman 1985
