Inscription.
To the men of LeFlore County and the Southland who answered the call to defend their homes, states, and Southland from invading armies from the North. The actual burial sites of some are known but to God. But all known veterans buried within this hallowed ground are remembered and honored by a marker. All gave some and some gave all for their struggle for a free, independent South.
