Stamford Veterans Memorial

[ central pedestal ]

Lest We Forget

Within this pedestal is placed a time

capsule recording for all time

those residents of Stamford who responded

to the call, some giving their lives

while serving in our past wars.

In future wars should we be

called again, the people of Stamford

pledge to preserve and perpetuate

this expression of gratitude for

such sacrifice.

Freedom from Want

To Those Who Gave

Their Lives in Our

Country's Wars

They shall grow not old as

we that are left grow old.

Age shall not weary them

nor the years condemn in

the glory of their youth

We will remember them.

Freedom from Fear

"Let us the living,

be here dedicated

to the great task

remaining before us.

That from these

honored dead we take

increased devotion to

that cause for which

they gave their last full

measure of devotion."
