Inscription. The Trustees of the Orange County Cemetery District hereby dedicate this section of the El Toro Memorial Park to all veterans of the armed forces who have served our country with honor, dignity and pride.

"...Let no wanton foot tread rudely on such hallowed grounds. Let pleasant paths invite the coming and going of reverent visitors and fond mourners. Let no vandalism or avarice or neglect, no ravages of time, testify to the present or to coming generations that we have forgotten, as a people, the cost of a free and undivided republic..."
