The memorial is dedicated to all American veterans and to Americans who have served in the United States military. It says the names present are only a few and calls for the sacrifices that have been made never to be forgotten, honoring those who served. It includes a Veterans Day prayer asking for courage for those defending the principles of freedom, comfort for families with loved ones far away serving their country, wisdom for leaders seeking answers that respect all sides and honor humankind, and blessings for veterans and all who have gone before in helping open freedom’s door throughout the world.
