1. The Berlin Wall Marker
Inscription.
From August 13, 1961 to November 9, 1989, the Berlin Wall divided a city and a nation. It was a symbol of oppression and a boundary between democracy and communism.

Today, let this piece of the Berlin Wall serve as a reminder to us that not all in this world enjoy the rights that we have. May we never take our freedom for granted. May we always be grateful to those brave men and women who have served in our armed forces and defended our freedom and the freedom of those around the world. May we always be mindful of those who keep us safe and those who selflessly serve our community.
 
Erected 2015 by Boy Scouts of America, Troop 2019.
