Inscription

The base of the statue is inscribed as follows:

The Faces of War – heroic and tragic

Faces of the past held present in our memories

Faces of soldiers and civilians – men, women, children all ages, all colors

And our own Faces – observes who can never know the entire story

The whole concealed and reflected by a thin veil of water

Water representing tears – separation of past and present a cleaning

And emerging from the Faces, one soldier stepping toward the future into a garden

Stepping toward the next generation a child – His legacy and ours[2]
