1. Veterans Memorial Dedication
and was dedicated on Memorial Day in the year
One Thousand Nine Hundred Thirty Seven
It is a tribute to those who served
their country both as home and abroad
A Nation that honors its veterans is a nation
dedicated to the preservation of a freedom won
by the sacrifice of life itself. These emblems
are appropriately dedicated to the valiant dead
of the Armed Forces who ventured far, fought
bravely, and gave their lives to preserve freedom
and liberty in our land. Together they lie here in
mute testimony to the manner in which they lived,
worked and fought to achieve the victories
in order that America may live.
Presented on the Sesquicentennial of
Allegheny Cemetery, Memorial Day, May 30, 1994
In appreciation of the

who have honored our veterans and kept alive the memory
of their service and sacrifices for our country.
Presented May 30, 1994
