Inscription

Since our earliest crusade

_x000D_

Men and women have suffered in the throes of war

_x000D_

Nor for personal gain or glory

_x000D_

For the preservation of an ideal

_x000D_

That righteous freedom be realized

_x000D_

As a reward to all mankind

_x000D_

Thus we the citizens of East York

_x000D_

Erect this symbol to commemorate throughout the years those who laundering down their lives or were incapacitated serving the course of such freedom in the victorious wars of 1914-1918 1939-1945

_x000D_

Pray that the crusade is now ended in eternal peace

_x000D_

1950 Korea 1953
