Inscription. In Honor of All Veterans of Afghanistan and Iraq

Their courage, sacrifice and devotion to duty ensured our freedom and democracy.

Let us never forget the fallen, who gave the full measure of life’s treasure to fulfill the most demanding duty on behalf of the United States of America.

Let this memorial serve as a solemn signpost of their ultimate sacrifice to our country and a remembrance of the heavy burden borne by the fallen, the wounded and their families. They will never be forgotten.

Let us honor their service and sacrifice by being citizens worthy of their sacrifice.

Let Us Remember
