Inscription. Air Force ☆ Army ☆ Coast Guard

In honored memory
of those who served
in defense of their
country so that all
may enjoy freedom.

Let us show them that we do care,
Let us gather with them and share,
Their thoughts, and memories, and pride
Of this country, its flag, and those who died.

We are blessed to live in liberty,
“Because they fought, you stand free.”
