Inscription.
Vietnam veterans were simply the best of America at the worst of times and it matters not what is engraved in this granite but what we have woven into the lives of others.

We know who we are we know what we did and only we know others like us. That alone is our glory.

Dedicated May 18,2012
To those that didn't come home and those that continue to do so.
