A special tribute states, “This memorial is dedicated by the city of Peoria to all of those who have served and are serving our country in the defense of freedom.” An inscription spanning the length of the wall bears the quote, “Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship,support any friend,oppose any foe to assure the survival and success of freedom.” – John F.
