1. Airmen's Monument
of great sacrifice. This monument is
dedicated to all the men and women who
have defended that freedom and to those who
continue to protect that proud heritage.
The willingness with which our young people
are likely to serve in any war no matter
how justified, shall be directly proportional
as to how they perceive the veterans of
earlier wars were treated and appreciated
by their nation. - George Washington
Whenever hostile aggressions...require a
resort to war, we must meet our duty
and convince the world that we are
just friends and brave enemies.
- Thomas Jefferson, December 3, 1806
