This tablet is erected by grateful citizens
in honor of the men who offered the supreme sacrifice
and of the women who forever glorified womanhood
and made victory possible in the Great World War
for The Freedom of Mankind
Not for a transient victory or some
stubborn belief that they alone were right
not for a selfish purpose did they fight
but for the generations still to come
