who shed their blood in defense of God, Family and Country.
They are Oregon's Fallen War Heroes.
We honor for their valor the men and women
whose names are engraved on these monuments.
They made the ultimate sacrifice.
They must never be forgotten.
We also honor the heroes who survived combat and returned home
with wounded bodies, hearts and minds--
many with pain hidden deep within their souls--
those unsung heroes who, by the grace of God, lived to fight another day.
Erected 2015 by Central Point Parks and Recreation.
