Centreville, Queen Anne's County, Maryland

This memorial plaque is given to commemorate those sons and daughters of Queen Anne's County, Maryland, who served in the Armed Forces of their country in all wars since July 4, 1776.

We honor all those citizens of Queen Anne's County who made the supreme sacrifice in the service of their country and now lie in hallowed ground and seas throughout the world.

May we always remember our fathers, who fought in World War I, and those of our generation, who served in World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the Persian Gulf and other battlefields of the world. Let us never forget our friends and neighbors who served in Company K, 115th Infantry, 29th Division and fought and died in the invasion of Europe on June 6, 1944.

Remember those veterans who returned home, served their communities, and furthered the causes of freedom and liberty for which they fought.

This memorial is dedicated to all veterans on this memorial day of the year 2000.
