to those of
Martin County
now reposed in
eternal sleep who
gave their lives in
World War I
World War II
Korean War
Vietnam War
On Fame's eternal camping ground,
their silent tents are spread
[East face] They will awaken one day from a dream of peace and find their names written in gold
[West face] So they lived and died among us, but they shall forever live young in the hearts of others who must grow old
Erected 1956 by American Legion Post 173.
