On this piece of ground, I have found my rest. In this hallowed place, I am now at peace. Under the stars and stripes I was brought home. Now I lay quietly, for my battles are done. So when you pass by, don't be mad if I don't say hello. I am at rest so that you may be free. I am laying quietly waiting for others to join me, on this piece of ground.
Let us never forget that every freedom we enjoy was payed for in American blood.
