Inscription.
This garden is a living tribute to all of America's veterans and their families. In silence and respect, this is a place to remember why millions of Americans have fought and died for our liberty and our freedom.

Here we renew our promise to fulfill America's sacred duty to never forget. Here we renew our military pledge to support them with: "our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor."
 
Erected 2014 by Justin Rees, Boy Scouts Eagle Project, Troop 235.
