Inscription.

On July 14th of 2018 this combined tribute area was installed
to honor and show support for "All Police Officers and
All Firefighters", especially our local members. In our
great nation we have our U.S. Military that constantly stand
watch over our nation ensuring the nation's safety.
Locally, we have our Police Officers and Firefighters that
make their personal sacrifices to protect and come to our
aid answering the local call of duty. We are fortunate people
to have others that will make the sacrifices they do to
serve others in the community.
We say thank you to those who serve!

 
Erected 2018 by the Kline Township Community.
