Inscription.

POW • MIA
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
