The Veterans Memorial honors all veterans of the Mount Savage community, living and dead, who served in the Armed Forces of the United States of America, and it affirms Americanism as love of country, loyalty to its institutions and ideals, eagerness to defend it against all enemies, undivided allegiance to the flag, and a desire to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and posterity. It remembers those who fought and fell as not lost but waiting ahead, recognizes prisoners of war Joseph C. Green of World War II and James P. Dickel, Sr., of the Korean War, and names those from World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War who made the supreme sacrifice.
