Inscription.
The Americans Creed

I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; Whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; A democracy in a republic; A sovereign nation of many sovereign states; A perfect union, one and inseparable; Established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrifice their lives and fortunes.

I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; To support its constitution; To obey its laws; To respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.
William Tyler Page

In memory of those who
have so honorably
served our great
United States of America
Joanne And Al Stoutenburg Family
