Inscription.
With reverence, humility, and enormous respect, we honor our soldiers who have lost their lives abroad in the line of duty.
Their courageous acts and personal sacrifice embody the meaning of valor. May this memorial stand as a continual reminder of our responsibility to those who served our nation so bravely and never came home.

Missing Star
