Inscription.
For those who died a hero's death
Who felt the flag upon their chest
Who kept the bonds of the free unfurled
Who fought for peace throughout the world
This olive branch is gratefully lain
To show your death was not in vain.
- Lois York

Dedicated to those who gave their lives for peace and freedom
