Lest We Forget
Within this pedestal is placed a time
capsule recording for all time
those residents of Stamford who responded
to the call, some giving their lives
while serving in our past wars.
In future wars should we be
called again, the people of Stamford
pledge to preserve and perpetuate
this expression of gratitude for
such sacrifice.
