to the men and women
whose names are listed on
the tablets before you.
They left this community to
serve with honor and dignity
and to preserve freedom
around the world.
"Never in the course of history
has so much been owed by
so many to so few."
[Winston Churchill 1940]
A grateful nation thanks
them one and all.
