We dedicate this memorial to all who served with Honor and Duty
as they answered this Nation's call to arms in times of war;

And in grateful recognition of all those heroes from whom the last

And in humble acknowledgement of the Blessings of Almighty God
as we seek Peace and Plenty for all the Nations of the Earth.
