Fort Indiantown Gap National Cemetery near Annville in Lebanon County, Pennsylvania — The American Northeast (Mid-Atlantic)
Pennsylvania Veterans' Memorial
Inscription.
In Perpetual Remembrance
They still march but their footsteps
make no sound; they still serve but do
not answer when their name is called.
They shall not grow old, as we that are
left grow old, age will not weary them,
nor the years condemn. At the going down
of the sun and in the morning we
will remember them.
In grateful memory of
Maj Charles A. Hawkins, USA, Ret.
and his wife Eva Clements Hawkins
whose singular generosity helped make
this magnificent memorial a reality
[Scores of memorial blocks and pavers]
Erected by Major Charles A. and Eva Clements Hawkins, National Cemetery Administration, and Concerned Citizens and Organizations.
