This monument is constructed of a black stone that is probably more suited for a tombstone. Unfortunately, this material might not stand the test of time as well as other monuments carved by sculptors in decades past.
They served...
In bitter cold, in sweltering heat,
In burning desert sands.
Dedicated on November 11th, 2001 by
