Inscription. We salute those who heed their nation's call to protect and defend her constitution and laws. These patriots come not from the hallowed halls of military tradition but from an array of varying origins and religious and economic cultures. When America's needs are great, she asks her finest to accomplish the tasks that determine her fate. Having prevailed, these patriots return to their fields of endeavor. seldom receiving gratitude. The fallen are often forgotten and those who return are frequently ignored. Today, however, we acknowledge all debts owed to these men and women.
