1. Flame of Hope Marker

Inscription. A flame burns on this spot and in the hearts of the people of this state and nation as a reminder of the sacrifices of those who have served in the Vietnam conflict.

The prisoners of war and those missing in action in that conflict are not and shall not be forgotten by their countrymen, their loved ones or their comrades in arms. Our hopes and prayers for their safe return burn as brightly as the flame above.

Those who have given their lives under the call of their country are enshrined in our hearts forever.
