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]
