Inscription. In honor to those who served.
In gratitude to those now serving.
I was that which others did not want to be
I went where others feared to go and did what others failed to do.
I asked nothing from those who gave nothing and reluctantly accepted.
The thought of eternal loneliness
Should I fail I have seen the face of terror. Felt the stinging cold of fear and.
Enjoyed the sweet taste of a moments love.
I have cried, pained and hoped, but most of all, I have lived times others
would say were best forgotten.
At least someday I will be able to say that i was proud of what was.
I was a soldier, a marine, a sailor, an airman.
POW - MIA
You Are Not Forgotten

"A veteran is an ordinary and yet extraordinary human being a person who offered some of his life's most vital years in the service of his country and who sacrificed his ambitions, so that others would not have to sacrifice theirs."
1998 Father Edward Dennis O'Brien, USMC
