Inscription. This memorial is dedicated to all our sons & daughters
who served and continued serving our nation in war and peace.

They walk that wall, day and night
to safeguard the freedoms of the greatest nation on earth,

They are all Heroes.

On behalf of our fallen Heroes
we shall never "break faith"
