Inscription.
Howard County Veterans Memorial. Dedicated September 17, 2000. "We're Finally O.K." We went there when we were young, But died before our work was done. With friends we tried to rid the land, Of tyranny and oppression to let freedom stand. But our time was up so we passed the baton, To those behind us to carry on. Now through these years or untold pain, We know we did not die in vain. So they put our names upon The Wall, In honor and memory of those who gave all. And though we are not here today, We want you to know we're finally O.K. Steve Ehrlich
