The plaque reads:
"Dedicated to the Nurses of the Korean War.
Between 541 and 1502 nurses served in the Korean War. The Nurses Corps was involved in many combat situations during which they exhibited an undaunted spirit of dedication and bravery to our troops while assisting in the M.A.S.H. units. Their bravery and courage under fire was unlimited. The nurses were the recipients of 9 Legions of Merit, 120 Bronze Stars and 173 Commendation Ribbons. On behalf of a grateful nation, we thank them for their sacrifices. May God bless those who served and those who now serve our armed forces."
