Inscription.
Welcome
to all who visit this sacred space
to honor those remembered here
at the Van Horn - Hungry Hill Monument

☘️ An Irish Blessing ☘️
May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
May the rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Hungry Hill
