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]
