Inscription.
The American Bald Eagle has served as the symbol of the United States and as the nation's national bird since 1782. To describe the Bald Eagle requires the use of words that are often used to describe the men and women of the American military: majestic, fierce, loyal, instinctive, devoted, powerful, determined, protective, precise and courageous.

The American Bald Eagles that stand guard today in the Ennis Veterans Memorial represent the freedom and liberty paid for by the blood and tears of American military families around the world.

May God bless and protect our military families and the United States of America.

Erected 2013 by George and Annie Wartsbaugh.
