Inscription.
A nation that honors its veterans is one dedicated to the preservation of freedom. Hursen Funeral Home gratefully dedicates these emblems and this memorial to those forgotten individuals who unselfishly gave up their youthful dreams, and some their lives, in Korea and Vietnam, and were never given the respect and honor they earned and so rightfully deserve.

God will someday judge our actions. Until then, He will shine on the lives of each veteran and their families now and forever. He alone was with each of them and is the only one that truly knows what they endured and are living with every day; for all of us.

Erected by Hursen Funeral Home.
