Inscription. Dedicated to the six outstanding soldiers who made the supreme sacrifice and to the dozens who were seriously injured when two UH-60 helicopters collided in a training accident at Fort Campbell

Let us not attempt to understand why or change things we cannot, but rather, let us remember and honor their selfless service to our comrades, our army, and our nation. Let us not mourn for the soldiers who died, but rather, let us be glad that such heroes lived
