Sculpted by E.M. Viquesney was erected

Following World War I, "The War to End All Wars."

So that future generations may

Remember the struggles and bloodshed that

Preceding generations endured

To protect the peace and

Liberties we hold dear.

We especially wish to

Honor the veterans who protected our freedom

With their lives.
