Inscription.
Let us reflect on the service of the millions of Americans who have been in our nations armed forces. Without their contribution, we would not have the opportunities and freedoms we enjoy. Especially, let us never forget the ones who made the ultimate sacrifice. We who live must sing their songs. We sing of the freedom whose cost was so high. We sing of justice, we sing of peace, we sing of plenty. We rejoice in the fact that their sacrifices were not in vain.

This memorial is dedicated to all the men and women who have served our great nation and to those who are serving now.
