Farrell J. Sullivan , With a consecrated devotion to duty and a will to conquer, you have loyally served your country. - Gen. John J. Pershing, May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't. If a man does his best, what else is there? - Gen. George Patton, Jr., Let us never become so comfortable with our freedom that we forget the immeasurable sacrifice by which it was achieved. - Gen Dwight D. Eisenhower, No man is entitled to the blessings of freedom unless he be vigilant in its preservation. - Gen. Douglas MacArthur, Ask not what your country can do for you; Ask what you can do for your country. - President John F. Kennedy, To be prepared for war is the most effective means of preserving peace. - President George Washington, Reverse Side of the Memorial This Memorial Is Dedicated to Those From Hunt County Who Gave the Ultimate Sacrifice During the Wars of the 20th Century and to All Veterans of Hunt County, Almighty God: Our sons, pride of our nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor... Lead them straight and true; give strength to their arms, stoutness to their hearts, steadfastness in their faith... These men are lately drawn from the ways of peace. They fight not for lust of conquest. They fight to end conquest. They fight to liberate... They yearn but for the end of battle, for their return to the haven of home. Some will never return. Embrace these, Father, and receive them, Thy heroic servants, into Thy kingdom... And, O Lord, give us faith. Give us faith in Thee, faith in our sons, faith in each other... Thy will be done... - President Franklin D. Roosevelt June 6, 1944 (radio address to the nation), We Must Never Forget That Freedom Is Never Really Free. It Is The Most Costly Thing In The World. Freedom Is Never Paid In A Lump Sum. Installments Come Due In Every Generation. All That Any Of Us Can Do Is Offer The Generations That Follow A Chance For Freedom. - Paraphrased from the speeches of former President Ronald Reagan
