The memorial honors dead heroes who answered their country’s call in its hour of need during the Civil War, invoking Sumter in 1861, Gettysburg in 1863, and Appomattox in 1865, and asking that they be remembered for all they were and all they dared. It also places Biddeford, Maine, in a longer historical timeline, noting that Maine was admitted into the Union in 1820, that Richard Vines wintered at Winter Harbor in 1616 - 1617, and that Biddeford was incorporated as a town in 1718 and as a city in 1855.
